    I like reverse trikes, but the styling on this one is a little too car-like for my tastes. I can't tell from the pics - is it a jet-fighter style 2 seater?

    $20k is on par with other vehicles like this, but is still too expensive, and the range/charging time/top speed still need improvement to be a really useful vehicle for most people. A gas model would probably get 50+ MPG - maybe they should offer that option.

    I still want my Corbin Merlin. Guess I'll have to build my own...

    @theycallmeham: Actually, it's our production prototype. We didn't have the windows and windshield installed when we had our photoshoot, so those are photoshopped in. Everything else on the vehicle is 100% real.

    We'll have more vehicle photos up soon!

    Well, they are certainly doing nothing to mitigate the massive pile of suck that is Eugene, Oregon.

    I was down at their facility and actually drove the thing, should be a fine around town commuter, pretty snappy up to 30 mph or so, very car like, not a tin can. My only concern is that the "greenies" are shouting so loud, that folks like this cannot even think of a real useful hybrid that would have mass appeal. Or even, gasp, just a light but std powered vehicle. Yes, I would love to wheel out 50 miles on electricity, but give me a small fossil fueled motor to get me the hell back to my garage please.

    ...should you be looking for a way to get from your sustainable organic hemp and algae farm to your reclaimed Portland warehouse condo and art gallery.

    I bet a Hayabusa motor would fit between those front wheels real nice. Since it is still an "EV", it is CA smog exempt. Hello 60mpg, stupid fast commuter.

    @Scandinavian Flick: I like the way you think.

    Between the front wheels might be a bit hard to route power to the back though, I was thinking back seat, that way you'd have plenty of room for a turbo.

    That looks like the bastard child of a Yaris and a Reliant Robin.

    55 MPH top speed would relegate them local roads only, so no highway ridin?
