5. If it produces enough torque to pull the camper/boat then it's got promise.
Americans have decided they want large vehicles with payload and towing capacity. They'll cut back on other purchases to keep that. -- the last 2 years has proven that. Putting hybrids in Expeditions etc has been difficult because of the demands put on the electric part of the cycle. If this technology can produce enough power for America's big vehicles then it's got real possibilities.

Now if the best it can do is a 3 wheel 2 seater, like what's pictured, then it's still has a ways to go.


I know I sound like a naysayer, I don't mean to. I think it has promise and I really hope it can eventually be used for more than just a "niche" market.
