I may have found the ultimate fun tilting threewheeler EV by Sway Motorsports. They are scheduled to be on Shark Tank this week. If only it was enclosed, but looks like fun irregardless.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

Just one thought: I'm not going to EH--vuhr be a 2nd person riding on that, the seat looks just a BIT to small, and I'm only 5'7" 160 lbs. lol But for one person running around town, might work!

Sway Motorsports.
Auto Blog.
'Pricing will start at $4,999 and go up from there, with a top-end model sitting at $10,999. Deposits of $100 are currently being accepted. Check the video below to see the Sway slalom its way through traffic.'. (from the site at Auto Blog)

It will be interesting to see how it would look with some sort of shell on it. :)

On Sway Motorsports own web-site, the price for the entry level model (Sway Lithium) is given as $7,999 and making a deposit locks in that amount, meaning it can go potentially higher. The price for the premium model, the Sway LithiumPlus, is not given on the site.

Yes, it was.
If you scrolled down the main page and clicked on"Reserve Sway Lithium Plus" button,
the LithiumPlus was priced @ $10,999 on the small picture.
However, the site did not specifically say "Lock in price at $10,999" in any way, shape, or form.

I assume that's what you meant but that meaning didn't transpose clearly here.

Now, however, both reservation pages are brand new versions.
The LithiumPlus reservation page now says,
"Sway Lithium PLUS - Shark Tank Special - $500 Reservation locks in your total discounted price of $10999..."

But it also says," Estimated Price: $10999 - Balance due at shipping, Estimated Fall 2016"

The Lithium reservation required a $100 and the LithiumPlus reservation required a $150 at the start of this thread.
Both now require a $500 deposit

The Lithium reservation page says,"
"Manufactured by Govecs at their plant in Poland.
This deposit reserves your place to receive one of the first 300 units,
scheduled to start shipping in Summer 2016,
and locks in your discounted price of $7999 - Balance due at shipping".

The site says (presumably regarding the Lithium), "Sway is scheduled for launch in Summer 2016" and, "Coming Summer 2016".
The Lithium reservation page says, "scheduled to start shipping in Summer 2016".

The lithiumPlus reservation page also says, "
Estimated Price: $10999 - Balance due at shipping, Estimated Fall 2016".

Since the Lithium reservation page mentions "300 units",
I would think that after the "Shark Tank Special is over (300 units are reserved @ $500 deposits each)
they might go back to the $100 deposit on the Lithium.

Overall, a little confusing, but we're used to that, eh?
