This three wheeler will be more stable than the enforcement three wheelers because the two wheels in front will restrain it from tipping in a turn. The standard three wheelers have a tendency to turn over as the inside wheel wants to lift out of the turn.
I think this one has great potential.

As I said -American customer need a decade to learn new stuff.
The 140 mph, 0 to 60 in 4,1 sec 3=wheeled T-rex is several years old.

They look funny, as in "ha-ha funny." And they certainly don't get that great of mpg for their size. Kinda like the Smart car that gets basically 40 mpg average. That's no big feat with today's diesel-technology available around the globe. I believe I'll keep my 3,800# Mercedes-Benz turbodiesel car and struggle along with mpg in the 30+ range.


I have a sweet tender nature, however I enjoy sharing my thoughts and opinions.

I don't know which is funnier: naming a tiny car after a big fierce dinosaur, or after a clunky flightless bird (genus for Kiwis is Apteryx).

This is what gas cost in Europe for several years already.

I can see a lot of Flash Gordon fans reveling in their victory.


Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
