"Motor-cam" was a good idea. Lots of people are looking closely at these cars to see if they'll fit in. If anyone knows of someone "hot-rodding" these, e.g. bigger motors to get 45-50mph, quicker, etc., please post a link.
If a bump is large enough (or a big enough pothole) the suspension with contact the rubber limit bumpers. Now that my wife has her MC endorsement, she drives it to work everyday, so I'm not sure if I can get another in-car video for a while. I've recently installed splash guards, so the next time it rains, I will be able to test it in the same manner.
hempev, I would not take the corner shown in the video, at 30 mph. It's safe at about 20 mph, but not much higher, regardless of the vehicle. The batteries in the Xebra are mounted very low in the frame and it's easy to forget that there is only one wheel at the front. The suspension has limited travel and the short wheelbase means a bit of a choppy ride.
Thanks! Can you take the Xebra into 30mph bend and not only take a powerbay video, but also give your driving impressions? I'm concerned about the suspension physics of a 3-wheeler with this kind of design.
I can't tell if you're against the car or you like it. What was your point of this video?

Its 25 miles range and 40mph top speed isn't it?
