I would not want a 3-wheeled vehicle, especially one that goes at

I hope to get something like this when my 14-year-old Geo Metro dies.
I doubt it. It's not a regular car -- it's a "NEV", and can't be driven
on any road where the speed limit is over 35 MPH. That limits its
usefulness terribly.
It's a low-speed vehicle, like the current Zenn cars.
In other words, it's a converted golf cart with seat belts.
For reasons which are completely obscure to me the only fully roadworthy
vehicle they seem to be offering is the Triac. Check the specs, it's
got half again the batteries and a much heftier engine than either the
Moose or the Microwatt.
