Build your own 3-wheeled EV

[rogwild]

Well If you just can't wait for Vv to finish your very own 'Vhatever', you can spend your spare time in your garage, building your own 'kit' EV 3-wheeler, The Bug-E.:eek:

Doesn't 'tilt', doesn't go fast, (or far) but it will get a bag of groceries or two (if you don't get run over enroute). If it only had an optional 'pedal power' backup (if the batteries run down), you'd not only get exercise building it, you could also use it for 'exercise' afterwards.=n:

rogwild,

here you go http://www.go-one.us/ check this out.=y: This is what I was going to get before I spotted the V1. That way during the spring, summer and early fall I wouldn't have to buy any gas at all. I should qualify this, I ride a bicycle 200 miles a week durning the spring, summer and early fall, during the winter my bike comes in the house and put on an trainer which I ride for and hour every evening.

I would use this to get back and forth to work and only use the electric assist to get up and over the pass which is 7mile 2000ft climb going and a 9mile 1800ft climb coming back. I tried using my race bike but at 52yrs old I found that it is to hard on my knees making that climb twice a day, 5 days a week:)

Hey, I just visited the go-one site, and I kind of like that thing! I might have even considered purchasing one, but then I seen the price-tag of over $10 grand. This is indeed a deal breaker.

Yes it is very spendy, but very cool:-) If you could put a small ac unit in the AZ guys could ride year round:-)

Maybe but then it might be...
{slaps head} "I could of had a V1!"
=y::LOL:

Bladerunner,

If I lived in a state where riding year round was a reality. I would buy the Go one before I'd buy a V1. $10k is cheaper than $25k and I'm really into cycling:-)

You are 52. By the time you add a few dodads your looking at $17K+ and you KNOW your wife will want to go if you are putting that much up front. Get a nice recumbant and wear a raincoat. They even have nice wind screens for thoes.

LOL TBW, I'm not married so I don't have to worry about that. It's not the rain that bothers me, but the frost and ice gets a little hairy:-)
