Triac: the highway-capable, three-wheeled electric car available now? – Engadget

I’m sorry sir but our definition of, “highway-capable” varies greatly.

Yours apparently means 70 mph and being able to travel 120 miles on a charge.

Mine means not going to be crushed to death when the Hummer behind me can’t see me, and accelerates over the top of me.

To each their own I guess.

Guess we’d never catch you on a motorcycle then. Way too dangerous.

Good point, but at least a motorcycle gives you the option of driving faster then 70 mph.

Drive 70 on a highway in anything but the slow lane, and you’re going to have a lot of people up your ass.

The TRIAC comes standard with a structural steel cage, side impact bracing, frontal impact redirection system that redirects the motor, transmission and batteries under the driver in the event of a frontal impact and disk brakes….All for $19,995. Not even the $100,000 Tesla offers air bags.

As for collissions with Hummers, the goal is that Hummers (the vehicles) go the way of the dinosaurs!
