I get it, small car, little or no engine, blah blah blah, good for the environment, blah blah blah, great gas mileage, blah blah blah. Hmmmmm, it still seems weird. “Safe, Soft, and Green” are the first four words used to describe this thing. Safe could be a relative term, soft means my Suburban will hurt it, and Green is probably the most true part of it. But we’ll see.
Again, the principle behind this little “car?” is completely understood. However, the practical side of me looks at traffic here in SoCal and thinks that most of the car and trucks on the road will squash this thing like a bug when they start arguing over space in a lane.
What do you think?
Here is what the seller, who is apparently the manufacturer, has to say about it:
SAFE, SOFT, and GREEN Electric 3 wheeler goes 65+ mph. Be one of the first to drive with a car or a motorcycle license and Spira is freeway/HOV legal . Lithium batteries charge in 3-5 hours on household 110 Volt AC. I also have gas ones with less the horsepower 149cc that go 50 mph that go for $4200. These are discounted from our first production which have less than 1000 testing miles on. See specs on our website Spira4u.com . Bench seat for one large or 2 small people. No helmet is required. Large trunk that a person can even fit in… We did a 40 mph crash test as seen on our website as the outside foam protects (same foam as in boggie boards). Gets 300 mpgE and goes 50 to 120 miles on a charge depending on speed and battery size (3 sizes available). I put the first 15 in my name for testing and now I am selling at 30% discount. You can test drive or do and extended trial for $10 a day plus 10 cents per mile (Deductible from purchase). I will give a buy back guarantee also at this rate with one year warranty plus 3 year warranty on the lithium battery. We now are in production and we have repair parts. We now have a dealer Otherrides for service on Hancock Street. The MSRP is $10,000 so you get a good deal as they are introduced to customers.
Reverse, seat heater, defroster, FM/mp3, Backup camera, 3 wheel disc brakes, honey comb/composite chassis(new recyclable material 7 times stronger than plywood for chassis), roll protection, seat belt. We are in first production and have produced 50 to date with 8 years and millions spent on development of a vehicle to cure the 1,200,000 killed in crashes and 2,000,000 killed by vehicle pollution annually.
