@tubamanb I think with the high costs involved you can specify what arrangement you want and they will build it for you

I want the handle bars down beside my seat so I can fall asleep at the wheel like
every one else on the road ! Also notice how stright up the driver sits. Not good.

Make it electric

Contrary to what's been stated here, both Ecomobiles and MonoTracers have always used watercooled BMW K-series 4-cylinder motorcycle engines. Ecomobiles were fitted with K100, K1100 and K1200 engines and all MonoTracers (apart from the electric ones) have been fitted with K1200 LT engines. The only exception was the original 1982 prototype which used an air-cooled BMW Boxer 1,000cc twin engine. PNB

If they race these, will they be able to deploy the training wheels to duke out their position?

@guitartec I have not heard of any races with these interesting vehicles, but who knows?

@ADMIRALSCORNER I took part in and helped to film the first Ecomobile World Cup at the Most circuit in the Czech Republic in 1991; some of it was shown on Top Gear. Since 1994 the annual gathering of Peraves Ecomobiles (and latterly, MonoTracers) has been at the Brno GP circuit. The first electric Ecomobile was built in 2008 and it lapped faster in the rain than any of the petrol powered machines did in the dry. See "'X-tracer prototype testing on wet Brno GP racetrack" to ride on board! PNB

@piedevant How great to find someone who has been so involved with these fine vehicles. Thank you for your input. The more we hear about them and their history the better!
