A cheaper, more efficient Morgan 3-Wheeler? Yes! (Sort of...)

Sometimes it just all comes together.

Here on Mesquite Hugger we talk a lot about bicycles, electric bicycles, and carbon-neutral vehicles. We talk occasionally about velomobiles. Once in a great while we talked about an electric Morgan three-wheeler. If only we could pull them all together into one glorious machine...

Yep. You know where we're headed:

Morgan Three Wheeler gets the Velomobile Treatment

Yep, it has pedals!

I just learned about it, and had to do some websurfing to learn more.

I learned:

• originally built by Ekomobil in Russia
• unsuccessfully Kickstartered as a πCar (PiCar) in the States in December 2015
• available now from Velomobileshop.com for $5000 (with some type of Sondors ebike tie-in)
• it can be pedal-only or come with a 48 volt hubmotor (maybe)
• it would make (another) great Mesquite Hugger "official" vehicle/birthday present

You can see a little video action on youtube

 

What more can I say?

 

May saving the world really be this much fun!
