And then once they had the rights to the Sparrow, they pretty much dropped most of what it brought with it. The control paradigms, the power infrastructure and even some of the old philosophy surrounding electric vehicles (both coming from the manufacturer and from the buying public) have all changed to the point that the existing design of the Sparrow is almost completely irrelevant in the current climate. According to the facts shared during the interview, the Solo has experienced a delay to market already; it was supposed to drop this spring and clearly that goal has been missed. |

Keeping the rear wheel drive Jeep facing forward was a challenge on wet pavement. I suspect it's even more of a challenge with a single rear wheel and heaps of torque. There had better be a traction control program in place to help the driver keep the right end pointed forward.
The price had better be low, otherwise, what's the point? A 2011 Leaf will be dirt cheap when the gen II launches. Seems silly it's a 1-seater. My motorcycle is very affordable, and it can carry 2. I'd probably choose a Segway over this.
