Tri, Tri Again for Aptera 3-Wheeler Loan From Feds | Autopia from Wired.com
- sanj 18y agoThis is really interesting at the level of sketchily navigating regulations. I believe that the Aptera (which, in full disclosure, I lust after) was clearly set up as a 3-wheeler to qualify as a motorcycle to avoid a whole lot of regs -- safety and otherwise. Whether or not they made it safer than a regular car is questionable. But I really don't buy the argument that "if only it had four wheels". I think you could just double up that back wheel and be done. I believe there was even a land-speed record car that did exactly this.
