Yes, but can we make them look cool?

I've seen some reverse trikes that look pretty sexy, like the arcimoto SRK or Toyota's abandoned i-road concept. They're golf-cart-ish in that they're small electric vehicles with a canopy.

  > the arcimoto SRK This is an insanely cool vehicle, never heard of it before. Thanks! A really bad accident forced me to leave motorcycles for a car, but never adapted to it; I just hate going around enclosed in a box. This might bring fun back to driving, I just hope it comes to Europe at an affordable price and (even more important) decent support warranty that doesn't make you want to sell it at the first battery substitution.

I wouldn't say cool but this one looks ok: https://jalopnik.com/holy-crap-the-new-2021-changlis-have-been-significantly-1846035935 https://jalopnik.com/holy-crap-the-new-2021-changlis-have-be... It costs around $1000 in China but by the time it gets to the US consumer it's $3000-$6500. https://electrek.co/2021/10/18/cheapest-ev-in-usa/ https://electrek.co/2021/10/18/cheapest-ev-in-usa/

Absolutely yes. This Citroën Ami has flames on the side, man: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/citroen-shows-custom-livery-options-ami-ev https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/citroen-shows-cu...

  The flames make it go faster, right?

    Correct. And once the Ami has finished hot-rodding it can go on to instill fear in the hearts of criminals everywhere: https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/citroen-ami-now-police-car-cute https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/citroen-ami-now-po...

      Hah, that's cute. They must have also hired some police officers to drive them; visited last summer on my boat and the island was run by a couple of mobsters on one of the other yachts moored there. Hadn't been any cops on the island since the start of the pandemic.

I thought the one mentioned in the article looked pretty good in a MINIesque kind of way: https://www.kandiamerica.com/NEV-K27/ https://www.kandiamerica.com/NEV-K27/
