Not affiliated with them, Just came across the Fakebook and it caught my eye ; especially in orange. Maybe a nice winter alternative kinda like the Can-Am Spyder with a roof - of course it would be better with THAT power ! http://www.eliomotors.com/ | ||

If I'm going 3 wheeler, I'm having one of these. http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/convertibles/1 208_2013_morgan_3_wheeler_first_drive/ | ||

I remember recently reading an article on how these "car manufacturers" are skirting safety issues and automobile standards by making them three-wheelers and classifying them as "motorcycles." However, since it IS a motorcycle, in the United States you STILL have to wear a helmet in those States that require it, even though the thing has a roll cage and safety harness. | ||

Something in me wounders what a Morgan would look like with a bubble cockpit. | ||

I'd be tempted to buy one of those if they ever actually sell some and at a decent price. I do a lot of commuting just by myself and I can't alway ride the X1 due to weather and winter. I wish someone would make this:  | ||

or something that looks as cool anyway. Don't really need the EV and hubless wheels but the design is sweet. | ||

Nice find City. If they stay true to their $6800 price with air conditioning, I could see this being a huge hit. As little as I drive a cage, I would be inclined to buy one. | ||

oooh that orange one is so much sexier | ||

I like the idea. but i don't see how they could do it for $6800. abs, a/c, airbags, power window & lock...? no way | ||

'assembled' in America - parts sourced globally. easy peasy. | ||

Build it with non union labor | ||
| Nukeblue |

Grump, I'm acquainted with Pete @ Liberty here in Seattle. His design was very well-sorted and Morgan was quite shrewd to pick it up. Come for a visit and we can see about begging you a ride in one. | ||

If they get it done for $6800 bucks, I'd buy one in a heartbeat. | ||

Matt, my Dad had one of the original Morgan 3 wheelers when he was young. | ||

I have always loved the Morgan. My brother is building a three wheeler but he has side by side seating with a steering wheel. He's plugging in a Yamaha V-Max with Corvette C4 front suspension. More like a three wheeled dune buggy. He has no plans and is designing it as he goes. Here's a shot of the front suspension.  Here's the set up for checking bump steer. He now has the rack and pinion set up too.  He took the gas tank out from under the seat and made a slide with a winch mounted to it. He took the gear reduction apart and removed a section to speed it up. He then made it drive a chain driven aluminum bar that's been grooved. When you pull on the emergency brake handle it will force the aluminum bar into the rear tire and then he just uses a switch to run the winch and wala, he has reverse! That's what happens to machinist in their 50's with no wife and nothing else to do! | ||
