Electra Meccanica (three Wheel Electric) Email-11/2/15
- Thread starter RUCRAYZE

This one is mint condish in red which is not my preferred color as I drive a little faster than most and don't need the hassle of a speeding ticket!If well taken care of (especially if garaged) $6k is a fair price for a 70k mile 2006. Around here, for $4k you are looking at salvage titles, or beat up examples way over 100k miles.
Starting in 2008 (like mine) the driver's seat has height adjustment and can go up about an extra inch. And 2009+ have revised engine internals for the manual versions which includes forged internals and stiffer valve springs. Not necessarily something most people need but worth taking into account if you plan on taking her to the track or going turbo.
FWIW I lowered mine 2" with coilovers. She handles like a dream but my wife hates trying to get out of it

And I quote "It got a big boost last February when Bloomberg Intelligence sent a note saying investors are excited about Electra Meccanica since Solo is a car people might need in addition to their regular cars. That nudge sent the company’s shares skyrocketing more than 220 percent on Feb. 13. Shares rose by 54 percent on Feb. 14."
Really good news for Electra Meccanica.

Second generation of Vancouver-designed electric vehicle to be on market by September
"We are alerting people right now about the impending delivery of cars. September we will ramp up to hundreds per month and then we will sell and lease the cars to the public. The target is 75,000 cars over the next three years."

The Vancouver-based company behind the electric three-wheel auto called the Solo plans to be selling the second generation of the model by September.
Lorenzo Caprilli, senior vice-president of sales for Electra Meccanica, said the Solo 2.0 has power steering, power brakes and air conditioning and was being manufactured by a Chinese partner.
Two of the Solo 2.0 one-person vehicles were on display at the Vancouver International Auto Show on Wednesday.
Caprilli said six Solo 2.0 vehicles had been delivered to North America so far, and that would go to 20 a month starting in April. The vehicles were being delivered to the Port of Los Angeles, which is the centre of the company’s primary market.
“We are alerting people right now about the impending delivery of cars,” Caprilli said. “September we will ramp up to hundreds per month and then we will sell and lease the cars to the public. The target is 75,000 cars over the next three years.”

In the U.S. the Solo is classified as an electric motorcycle. It can be legally driven in British Columbia, but not in the rest of Canada yet.
Caprilli said all Solo 2.0 vehicles being delivered were being tested, so that they could be perfect before general release in September.
Electra Meccanica has built 50 Solo vehicles at its New Westminster facility and some of those are in circulation.
The Chinese manufacturer also makes motorcycles and has a building dedicated to the Solo.
Caprilli said the U.S. was the company’s key market.
“In the U.S. it’s smooth sailing. We are just waiting for the cars to fill the orders.”
Electra Meccanica is a publicly-listed company whose share price has varied wildly since listing in 2015. On Wednesday, the share price jumped 33 per cent to $4.57 a share. In Oct. 2017 the shares peaked at $14.90 and in Feb. 2019 were at their lowest price of $1.22.

It'll be a totally different driving experience than the older SOLO they're currently using for test drives as the new 2.0 has power steering, power brakes and has A/C! Just waiting for the "alert" to complete my order and I'm a happy camper! IMHO it's worth the 15.5K for my "fully enclosed motorcycle/car". When I get the call to come in to complete the paperworks, I'll test drive it before signing anything but it's a bargain for the price so heck I'll get the key and just take it home! Lol
The last time I got this excited is when I made a non-refundable 1K deposit for an ELIO and yes, the SOLO will never match ELIO's 84mpg or 600+ miles between fill-ups but none of it is real but the SOLO 2.0 is!
Excited? I couldn’t tell because this
keeps getting in the way! 
Our three wheelein experience keeps getting closer and closer!It'll happen sooner...or later my friend, just hang in there until your USExcited? I couldn’t tell because this View attachment 23452 keeps getting in the way!
made fun ride arrives!
