Agreed... It looks disgusting. I'm not sure I'd want to be caught driving around in one of those. I'd rather have a motorcycle.
im sure its fun to ride around in but no matter what, the first thought that runs thru my head when i see a trike is GAY!!!!!!!
maybe swing by pepboys and get a 4th wheel for it.
lol its kind of like a moped, fun to ride but if you get caught your embarrassed as hell.
Doesn't need much.
Ariel Atoms are what, $50k and use a celica motor. Or maybe a rsx-s, I forget which.
Power to weight ratio.
I don't know how I feel about that. It looks wacky
My buddy works for Cycle USA has been talking about this thing coming in. Cool idea but needs a fourth wheel like a BAC mono or XBow not really sure why you'd make it a trike. Are there advantages to the single rear wheel?
The advantages of just three wheels are weight savings and money savings. Since they are classified as a motorcycle they don't need to put them through the crash testing cars need.
Ariel Atom $56,480 (No options)
Polaris Slingshot $19,999 (Base)

Well those are legitimate arguments, still don't like the 3 wheeler concept but seems you get a lot of bang for your buck. Hope you enjoy it!
I heard originally they were going to have it lean into turns like a bike you know anything about that? That would be bad ass.
Edit: The rear wheel that is, but judging but the flat car tire I'm guessing they ditched that.

K24 now, basically a Si engine. I think the early base versions had the Ecotec though. It would Interesting to see the profit margins on both.
Plan B, Cobalt SS + sawzall.
Pass.
I'd take an Atom ot X-Bow, but not that thing

I bet you would they are also almost 3 times as expensive. That's like saying "I'll pass on that Mustang I'd take 911 or Viper instead"
I think it is an affordable Morgan 3

Too bad it doesnt just have, you know, FOUR wheels.
Damn lol so much hate. This thing is a toy nothing else. If you'd rather have a motorcycle good for you, I would to accept I already have 2. I didn't get to test one out yet but the dealer will have one to ride in a month. If this thing turns out to be as fun to ride as im thinking, im getting it for sure!
