iTank: “A three-wheeled scooter is the future”

[Broken External Image]The Kickstarter campaign for the Doohan EV3 iTank three-wheeled scooter began this week. It’s brought to you by Kartik Ram, the same guy behind the Zeitgeist electric bike that debuted this spring. Before we get into the question of whether a three-wheeled scooter really is the future, as Ram said in a phone interview, here are the details of the iTank: Bosch motor goes from 0-28 mph in 4.6 seconds (the top speed is limited) Removable lithium-ion batteries fully charge in 6 hours Range of 62 miles (official) or 100 miles (according to Ram) 50:50 weight balance and low center of gravity “It’s not a scooter, and it’s not a motorcycle,” said Ram. The iTank is meant to take on neighborhood cruising, ...

I've been keeping my eyes on YOU!! I'm busy enjoying Seattle and my grandchild.
couldn't pass the above without thinking of my Elio family
well, weather alert for Seattle tomorrow going up to 85!!!!

I'm really hoping I'll have my Elio, before she has this scooter!!!

Stay well, see you at the Nationals -I'll be easy to spot, it's the unit without ANY modifications, Let's "Dream On"

Hmmm looks interesting. Stopped riding my bike due to bad hip. Sold it and got a gio 500 electric scooter but way to slow and am having a difficut time holding up at stop signs... now this 3 wheeler might be what I need.

Any price on it yet?

Cute scooter; but I don't think you would catch me on it.

85 in Seattle? OOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo it was 93 here this afternoon, and supposed to hit 98 to 100 tomorrow.
Here it is 10:37pm and it's still 76 outside.
See what a difference of 150 miles South of you makes. :becky:

Just received this email from one of the co-founders of the 3EV - iTank

Kartik Ram says:
Hi Andre-- your use case is exactly where the iTank shines. Its good for older, weak knee and hips.

The good news is that since it is speed limited to 30mph, it DOES NOT need a motorcycle license and is essentially a moped.

Also, you may want to take the early bird as this is pretty much our cost. I am moving this campaign to another marketplace where it will sell for $5500. We intend to ship the early birds first in Sep as others will have to wait until Nob.

We are planning to sell this aggressively for people with age or stability requirements.

Talk soon!

Kartik
