Aptera - the solar car - opens reservations

[madquadbiker]

Yes, very cool. I used to frequent a forum regularly that had such projects, ecomodder.com.

The nearly enclosed 125cc Honda that got 214mpg is the most impressive motorcycle/scooter mod I have seen, but it is pretty extreme.

My Honda MSX125SF (Grom to you) hit 178.37 mpg while running it in.

I placed a reservation for 2 of the 250 mile range versions the day it went live to order. The George Jetson looks hooked me when it originally debuted around 10 years ago. I think the Biden administration will be adding federal incentives for BEV’s in the near future which will help lower the price. If the market is right to flip for a profit I will keep the reservations.

Yeah, aero shells have disadvantages, though.

Oh, he went thru things and the thread is long and covers many of the issues encountered, but much less hassle than I thought it would be.

I think an aeroshelled Arcimoto would be VERY efficient, but look very strange to many people on the road. I would love to see that, but I am guessing their sales might suffer and the cost would be higher.

"aeroshelled Arcimoto" - reminds me of the Corbin Motors Sparrow.

Not as sporty as an Arcimoto though.

Yeah, shells have durability issues, they have access issues, and the big one is crosswinds. They can push or lift which can be bad.
