Kind of fugly, probably not that practical, but it gets over 700 miles on 5 gallons of gas. I'd say it goes in the win catagory.

Someone posted a video of a 3-wheel car that rolled over on its side every time it tried to turn. It was posted about a year ago. Can't remember the name; but it was an all plastic car made in Europe.

No way I would drive that thing 700 miles. :rolleyes:

Yeah that video was hilarious!!

Can I get a "that's what she said!" ?

My question is, if it's only a three wheel vehicle, why not just make a trike and enjoy the open air instead of hydrogen coming off the batteries.

I wouldn't want to be within a block of that thing when it gets in a wreck. Looks like the driver will be a roasty toasty by the time you get to him.

When he can further his technology to a pavement pounding tire shredding vehicle that looks stealth I'am in. Until the my Marauder is just fine.

Yeah I tend to agree. To me, in its current configuration, it looks like a hardtop golfcart missing a front wheel. But 141 mpg ain't no joke. Good luck to him.
