  1. Green Vehicles is no more. http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/20/say-goodbye-to-green-vehicles-and-its-three-wheeled-electric-tri/ This article indicates they went out of business.

    I still think the vehicle is cool. It seems so many three wheel vehicles don't stay around for long. There is the Corbin Motors Merlin that is gone. It was really neat. There was the Eco Motors EMC3 that never seemed to make it into production. There was the Zap Alias that is gone. It was really cool looking.

  2. SPECS..? Voltage of motor, Watts of motor, Amp hours..? # of charge cycles..? And where would someone buy replacement lithium-ion batteries when the original are spent..?

  3. How can Lithium batteries take 16 hours to charge? Is it using a nokia charger or something? Also 25k is way too costly, I would expect this to sell for under the 15K mark at least..

  4. Green vehicles are not green. Quit trying to feed us the crap that they are. It takes oil and natural gas to make electricity. There is more air pollution generated from the bunker oil they use in the boilers than a tank of gas causes. You can only have a green car if you are using something like the sun for electricity and that is not possible yet.

  5. My average is longer than 100 miles with a lot of other people as well. Just to work and back home 130 miles. Once they crack 150 mile range they could get my interest.

  6. Look people, you all want to ramble on while wearing your ass-hats that's fine. Here's my two cents. The motor is crap because it is not asymmetrically wound, and until they put a Tesla charger/reconditioner on it to keep the batteries in perfect shape for the life of the vehicle the batteries will always fail. Buy a cheap Chinese three wheel car and rewind the motor asymmetrically then charge the batteries properly and you'll have a very high mileage long lasting EV.

  7. Um, engineering that cost this $24,995.00 to buy this car? Give me a break. About 2 yrs ago I contacted the manufacturer in China that make this triac, the Chinese guy emailed me back that I can buy one for $12K. How did it go from $12K to $24.9K? Makup also known as greed.

  8. The concept is sound, the company unfortunately went to shit, don't know why and really don't care. I will state my opinion as to why the damn thing was so expensive. Engineering!!! Anytime a new product hits the market the cost is astronomical until 10-20% of the population has it. Then the price will go down. If you want something like this and don't want to pay that extra arm and a leg you don't have then learn how to weld, put together an electric vehicle and then tell me how cheap it is. Decent motor by itself is $3,000-$7,000. A hybrid would allow you to extend your range considerably and the thing would get incredible gas mileage. I hope to be building small 1-passenger trikes kind of like this soon. keep your eyes open.
