Another EV transportation device, cute, classic

[Friday]

I can't help myself, this thing is cute and iconic. What a great era of reimagining vehicles we are in now. Not giving up my CT, but I can see the appeal of this type of design.

Adorable!

Alas, I don't see how it could meet modern impact standards with those thin A-pillers. Even the Arcimoto is beefier.

I. WANT. THIS. NOW.

Sandy Munro's onboard for the Nobe too. This and the Arcimoto seem to really excite him.

Yeah, but does it have a vault?

I don't know how two people are supposed to fit in that. The man and woman shown in it on their website are shoulder to shoulder. For someone like me, I don't think I could ever sit comfortably and relax. Even my girlfriend who is tiny and under 5' tall, probably couldn't be a passenger if i'm in there.

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with it, I just can't really see it being very practical for more than 1 person or 2 smaller than average people. Definitely a European market vehicle and just like how there is talk about a smaller Cybertruck for the European market, there might be a bigger version of that car if it was sold in North America.

Indeed, cute little thing. Clearly for Europe, although I remember in high school some of the rich kids getting fancy, like very fancy, golf carts and driving them to school. So this might fit under the same laws, allowing for city only driving. Or it might classified as a motorcycle? Or whatever the Polaris slingshot is

Wow, pure retro here. In the seventies and eighties some EV manufacturers used the three wheel design to circumvent the safety regs on cars...It's kinda cute, but I need Cybertruck, nothing else will do.

Polaris has to meet more impact rating than that Nobe seems to have, but yes, an Arcimoto and a Polaris are classified as motorcycles but they don't need an endorsement or helmets to drive them because of their third wheel.

Having driven the Polaris Slingshot; no need the motorcycle endorsement in that state. The 2 wheels in front, back single drive wheel was very stable (felt like 4 wheels) on all freeway and secondary roads. It was F.U.N! Did not take it on dirt or offroad.

Yeah stability is WAY different with two wheels out front versus one. Both the Slingshot and the T-Rex very stable vehicles.. the reliant robin on the other hand... not so much.

Yeah, no kidding. Just ask Clarkson. One of the funniest bits on old Top Gear.

That looks like fun
