Here is a little more info on the pedal/electric/leaning trike mentioned above.
Not much content, but there is a nice vid in the article.
Its not my cup of tea. I like trikes that are more recumbent.
The reduced drag of a bent trike helps to offset the extra weight.

Thanks.

They do say one or two passengers, so I think that you are seeing an embryonic prototype. For instance the FUV platform is up to five variants.

I'm ahead at the moment in my investing group with FUV putting me 30% up compared to the next place at -2%. Today hasn't done well, but I don't usually follow day to day changes (or even month to month).

I decided to put a limit order in for QuantumScape since they are about as low as ever and I just watched a couple of recent videos that sounded good, and I placed a limit order for Toyota to hedge my bet as to who will do solid state batteries first/best.

Doing a slow dive today with no readily apparent cause, but kinda trending the market overall.

Good news: soon to be rentals in Florida

Here's a competitor: ako.tech/

They started taking reservation on 2021-01, the last post on their site is 2021-11.


solomoto.es/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Ako-Trike_3.jpg

May it sell well in Lithuania. In the USofA, it would [most likely] infringe the Tilting Motorworks patents.

One-wheel drive; not autonomous-ready.

Archie is getting into MLM!

I randomly saw this on YouTube--while logged out.

I am this close to logging in and watching more of Joe Scott's apparent get-rich-quick schemes or whatever.

You'd have seen it already if you'd watched the video at Permalink #1097. The bike path you see at ?t=154 is Alton Baker Park. It's a great path, at speed it's a roller coaster.

In the video he mentioned a $5K price point (no word on State rebate yet).

What do you think about the new battery pack technology?

While I timed my FUV purchases at the very bottom of a 52 week low, that didn't prevent FUV from going even lower. I'm in the hole slightly on that investment despite initial promise. We'll see what happens. I should probably just set a limit price to sell since this is so volatile.
