    I was checking that out and kind of want one. A few years back I looked at converting my Spyder to a single seat machine more like that. Not fussed on passengers, but a single, center drivers seat, version of that would be a lot of fun...

    having driven a pre-production model, its a hoot. very fun, rear traction limited for sure. they are right on the traction control, it allows some good fun without getting to out of control.

    it fits into a weird market. even less useful than a purpose built sports car, but still not a motor cycle, but you basically have to treat it as such (in terms of weather, cargo etc etc). but it certainly is cheaper than anything on 4 wheels which can compete.

    i mean im out of the market, i already have a basically useless sports car, and my other car is an only marginally useful sports car, but for 20 grand, for 1700lbs, 170 hp, and a manual ... not bad, not bad at all. they claim 0-60 in around 5 seconds, and .97 on the skid pad.

    that extra tire will cost you about 55 grand too. this is about a quarter the price of a Xbow

    I'd take an Atom 3 over an xbow anyway. Only about twice the price of this guy, weighs less and also made in the US.

    Its a bit pricey for a novelty vehicle, and needs a roof and enclosure.

    But I like the seating arrangement better than this: http://www.eliomotors.com .
    endeavor to persevere.......
