Reyonnah The Folding Microcar



On the road:


I like it, even though its legally a car (4 wheels)
Simple and aero-able front suspension.
Light!

A modern aero EV version anyone?

Similar.


Approximately 50 miles per gallon (5.6 liters/100 km) and had a top speed of around 50 mph (80 km/h).
Single-cylinder 175cc two-stroke engine.
Three-speed transmission.

Replace the rear swing arm with a third motor with a wheel on each side. Remove the lawyer-dictated 'upper frame' and give it a fold-down windshield.

Done and dusted.

It turns out the Arcimoto Roadster was never approved for commercial sale. That's why Rich Benoit got two of them and parted them out for his Hyabusa projects.

I'm going to drive over to the West Side and ask about their certified used program warranty and whether I can swap VW wheels onto one and not void it.

I recall your wheel swap warranty void being settled back in the '70s.
Cragar(?) Won. Although they might have a contract amendment you have to agree to. Haven't seen where they could actually prevent you from installing suitable aftermarket accessories.

Their two-year warranty is now down to 90 days.
