A SOLO Forum Ampere reservationist mentioned that he received an email from the company saying there will be an optional top for full enclosure. Looks like the potential for a sweet ride in the video. Still unsure if it's front or rear wheel drive.......front would be my strong preference. The styling in the video is edgy, but looks to be smoother and more refined in the above production model renders.

Rear wheel drive by kevlar belt. I saw it in the pre-order box

There's an old engineer's adage: getting to 80 percent takes 20 percent of the time, the last 20 percent takes 80 percent of the time.

No Top + No Windshield = Expensive Toy

And only 100 mile range?

Targa top $1500, yes windshield, optional bigger battery and A/C

Lu, do you have a source for this information? I'd love to see a rendering of the windshield and top.

Thanks!

No renders of windshield, top, or doors on their website. Seems to be a very cool looking expensive toy and little competition for the SONDORs if either make it to production.

https://www.pr.com/press-release/739473 Also had a couple of e-mails from Tony and he said yes to A/C, need to have a top and windshield for the air to work well! Heck it's $200 for a deposit. I'm #29 so why not. I have reservations now on 5 three wheelers maybe one day I'll actually see one!

At the moment, it's difficult to imagine how the hard top will work, since there don't seem to be any doors on the prototype. Perhaps, doors will be a production model feature.

Reservations on 5 three wheelers!.........I like your style. I like the concept, but wouldn't be able to climb in and out of it.

and no specs.
I do not think we are looking at front wheel drive on this 3 wheeler. I am seriously considering not taking delivery of a SOLO for that reason, although I might let EMV change me mind.
