It's good to see these machines, but you need to do more homework. The first Swiss Peraves machine (pronounced Peh-RAH-veZ - it's Latin - per aves - 'like birds') was indeed built in 1982, but it was BMW Boxer twin-powered and most certainly was *not* capable of 190mph!. The first K100-powered Peraves Oekomobil was built in 1985 and I rode it on Top Gear in 1988, before the name was anglicised to Ecomobile. More than 80 were built and sold. The first Peraves Monotracer was finished in 2007, and the first electric one in 2009 and I rode them both at Brno in those years. The BMW tilting 3-wheeler was originally called the Clever and was a joint project with Bath University in England. It wasn't nearly as clever as the original Van Den Brink Carver, which now exists in much cheaper, lighter electric form. You haven't even mentioned the roofed, sleek and all-British Quasar, first built in 1975 and capable of 100mph with only a humble Reliant 850 engine. Then there's BMW's C1, which was only good in parts, but 20,000 were actually built and sold. And Benelli's Adiva, much improved after the Chinese bought the marque. I could go on...
Who the hell actually buy these, the audi lookalike especially sucks. Lit motors C1 used to be the ONLY one back in the day worth the hype. They finally 'revived' it recently and it's still in concept stages after 12 years LOL. It's anticipated to roll out soon hopefully it goes well.
Nonsense. My Arcimoto has the width of a man hole cover between the front and rear wheel tracks. If You are talking about a narrow profile leaning autocycle, they are so maneuverable within a lane that we can dodge the potholes
