A German company called Beyss Leichtfahrzeuge makes a totally cool human powered zero emission vehicle called Go-One³. Designed by a designer from Daimler Chrysler that helped bring us the Smart Car, the Go-One³ is a fully enclosed weatherproof pedal powered tricycle. With features like it’s carbon fiber shell, turn signals, and electric assist this is like no other bicycle you’ve ridden before.
Looks so hot, it’s been used as a prop for TV commercials and magazine ads for companies like Puma.
Now if they can only do something about the price tag… $7689 US Dollars with shipping.
OUCH!

Looks great, but the price is horrible, maybe a reason, that me, living in germany, haven’t seen this thing before i saw this article.

7K+ for a pedal vehicle when there are numerous motorized, enclosed vehicles that can be purchased new for between a 1/3 & 1/2 that amount. There is a company on it’s way to being out of business.

the Chinese are making some lovely low cost “micro” vehicles / the http://www.hyundaiusa.com/accent-3-door/
come in at just $10,000 although a lost leader and surly subsidies by UP models. i heard stores where electric carts where being subsidies by the government so not these.
i am really interested in a systems like this with gradually increasing electrical assist performance.
(my dad buys Mazda 626’s for between 1000, 100 dollars and maintains them himself so our mobil costs are almost nothing only place where larges gains could be made is insurance)
if your a manufacturer/construction/infrastructure builder or maintenance person these systems are great for “light world types”
i am not a eco guy i am just tired of seeing people in debt themselves and then have it all fall apart b/c they can’t cash flow it or something unexpected happens.
would like to see what you could pull with this + electric assist motor
