@formalz 4 Wheels also means much more drag. At low speeds the weight is important for good fuel efficency, at high speeds it's the drag that is what's important.
-
a car or a motorcycle, that IS the question
-
it's better looking than most every three wheeler out there.

This thing could be improved by building a rear half for the body that uses
areo dinamics to reduce vortises instead of trying to contorle them.
but........One can't argue with those stats.!!
Almost none of the cars on utube are radical enough for Me the all sit side by side. I may have to get off my ass and build a tandem seater with external
side impact protectors. This thing has almost the frontal area of a normal car.

Hehe. Only because it has 3 wheels. They could have easily added a 4th wheel, but I guess it would just be extra weight, not allowing the amazing top speeds of over highway limits. This ride is great in my opinion. :)

Nice motorcycle.

@ThePappy61 That is the idea behind the Alias. At smaller production runs a simpler car like this can be produced less expensively, yet still safe, good performance and stylish.
