NorciaVelo: Three wheeled, highly efficient electric commute vehicle

[trevortrevortsr2]

excellent - can we ask how you made the screen it looks to have compound curves

[jmygann]

what is the status ?

Very nice design. Don't worry about the safety people. Those people you will never get out of their tanks until gas is 10 dollars a gallon. Much more safe than a motorcycle. I will be watching with interest to see what kind of range or watt hours per mile you achieve.

[cmfluteguy]

Very nice try.

Not one mention of stability or driver safety?

The forward occupant is the crash absorber for the driver?

Back to the drawing board you go!

Good luck!!

Impressive job men! I am excited to see your future results!! I saw a website where a guy overseas took a Honda 125cc Innova and converted it to a 235MPG aerodynamic cycle! Keep up the good work! :{)

Keep up the good work. it's nice to see young people doign something worthwhile with themselves. There is hope for us after all.

Glad to see other going the same way, you are way ahead of us.

When we have something we will post it , in the meantime keep up the good work.

I would suggest you ignore the negative comments, in general you are doing it , they aren't.

Very impressive! It sure is good to see younger folks setting out to solve some of the big problems.

It's a nice effort, but EVs aren't ready for prime time. If you did the same thing with an ICE you net similar benefits in efficiency, but you'd save a bundle since putting a motorcycle or scooter motor in your vehicle would be MUCH cheaper and you'd get 125 mpg ro more. When there is a quantum leap in battery tech, then maybe the EV will have a shot. Untill then....it's all kind of silly.

I'm impressed that you have the front wheels correctly located... most folks would stick them up front, which would cause handling problems. Most folks would also not be brave enough to tackle the construction of their own composite body. Good job! Jeff - goblinmotors (dot) com

@CellCoachCom Can you explain why putting them all the way up front would cause handling problems?

The only thing I can think is weight distribution issues... but you'd get the benefits of a longer wheelbase, as well as a small crumple zone. And, the weight distribution issues could be alleviated by using the nose to hold batteries.
