Regardless, there is plenty of room in the N. American market for 3 wheelers, perhaps biodiesel hybrids Personally, I think these particular models are kind of ugly but I could see an independent co producing something not so cutesey and more utilitarian. There is a Quebec entrepreneur who makes three wheelers with motor cycle engines, only his design uses a single massive back wheel and 2 smaller front wheels. He has sold several hundred at $18,000 CAN each. There is certainly a market for mail carriers, deliveries and such. Designed well with the right kind of body shell these vehicles are kind of cool,
