They think they’re delivering “cool” like a motorcycle and “safety” like a car, but what people really see is the “cool” of an economy car coupled with the reduced “safety” of a motorcycle. People ride motorcycles for the visceral experience. People drive cars largely for the practicality (sports cars excepted). This delivers neither the visceral experience of riding a motorcycle nor the practicality of the average grocery getter. I agree, the market for this is very limited and it’s virtually guaranteed to fail, like every iteration of this concept before it.
I’m one of the few who would consider buying one, but I think you’re right.
I’m guessing that if they actually make it to market, they’ll have one showroom in NYC and one in LA. The sticker price would be $70,000. That would shrink their market base even further.
I ride a moto for practicality. It’s about the same cost as public transport and much more reliable. It’s also able to filter thru heavy trafic - which is where trikes like this fail to me.
