I've curious about the relationship between
Electrameccanica and
Intermeccanica. Intermeccanica make the Kubelcar. They've produced 2400 handbuilt cars in
ever. That shop is going to produce 25K units/year? They bought
all the extant Sparrow bodies and used one as a development platform?
His claim is to have been been around since 1959 (longer than GM and Tesla (?)). Yet all they are showing is a rendering and a goal of 25,000 units at $20,000. With a $2000 deposit (now $250 on their website).
I'm bummed because I was going to get an Arcimoto SRK and put a full envelope body with integrated saddlebags and a Telsa nose. That's exactly what their single-seater w/ steering wheel looks like. They give up the back seat for a steering wheel.

That's a good question - why? |
Impacted snow in the middle of the lane? Half the contact patch for the drive wheel[s]?
What important to me is torque vectoring, I don't think you can do that with a single wheel. I hate open differentials on black ice.
