Very cool indeed! Looks like one smooth and responsive enclosed trike. I can hardly wait for a test ride to validate.

I like the way it only takes up 1/2 a lane, could almost fly them in formation.

Very cool new video.
Turn your volume down as soon as you start it.

Thanks for posting EA! That's what we all want to see- real world driving in real world speeds in real world freeways and highways! Love the speed in merging.

I hope to see SOLOs flying down the road either solo or in formation very soon.

Doesn't show driving through curves though.

EMV track test video of the SOLO and SOLO R doing slalom maneuvers. The suspension looks fine tuned and both SOLOs look to have quick and stabile maneuvering.

Lots of actual track testing has been done on the SOLO testing the various systems. Also, 1000's of miles on pre-production production SOLOs used in every day driving situations. There are 10+ preproduction SOLOs that have been or are in the process of being tested.

BUT........Where is the indication of SPEED (MPH) through the slaoms? sp.
10-1......... NOT stock suspension on the RACER.
Good video though.
I'll believe when I see them on the USA roads, just like the ELIO.

NOT stock suspension on the RACER.

Yep. Notice how much lower the racer sits compared to the white Solo.

And... EMV is saying that they'll complete US compliance certification before Canadian compliance certification.
They've recently said that after a couple of minor required modifications, the US compliance certification is almost done.

Could be the stock suspension on the SOLO R. The SOLOs suspension is tunable and the ground clearance is height adjustable. What isn't stock in the R is the added motor, racing slick tires, gauges, and safety roll cage.

The speed during the track testing was fast enough to validate the suspension And handling on both SOLOs. I'm impressed to see any enclosed three wheeler on the test track and to be provided with a test drive opportunity. The SOLO production is imminent.

The Raven Black Solo. Sweet!
