Just to clarify, this was never the Merlin. That is an entirely different car. Starting with the Merlin's 88B v-twin motor versus the Raven's 800cc inline Suzuki powertrain. Since both chassis types varied greatly the builds of both cars was from the ground up. Although the Merlin and Raven (Sparrow too) have similar appearances, all three cars were of different designs at different timeframes. As to any price difference, the Merlin was geared towards performance and the Raven, economy.
no this is not a vw bug but rather a unique design built from the ground up. the green tape is actually low tact masking tape used to hold the windshield in place while the epoxy was setting. in the later videos the tape is of course gone. thanks for your interest!
2 me a 3 wheeled vehicle is a wasted effort unless its designed for 1+ passenger. However I really like the looks of it. Looks like something you'd see in a batman movie drove by the joker or riddler
I like this one. Seems like a ideal single-person transport. I guess all the fancy stuff is needed to give it a good change of success in the USA. Guys, if good money is earned with this one, consider a back to basics single-persons car. Please ... not electric. Hmm, 250 or 500 cc, I guess.
At this moment I own a Secma Fun Extr'm 500. Nice microcar. Able to do 115 km/h (about 80 mph). Sadly not the most ideal engine. Could have a higher mpg. Anyway ...many like it. I have some videos. Go see.
I have a concept 3-wheel motorcycle & car listed on ebay (# 270194999266). It is both a car & motorcycle. The motorcycle detaches from the fron cabin area for separate use.
This little runabout looks totally cool and better looking than the Meyers NMG car. Does the Raven also come as a totally electric vehicle? I'm so tired of gasoline powered, polluting cars.
first how fast is the darn thing
