Ever see one of these?

Caught a little blip on the company watching speed vision (or wtf ever it’s called now) and decided to check out the webpage. Interesting cars, but I don’t know if id take one of those things on the freeway...

This pic shows their V twin "Merlin" edition. Most of what they make though are completely electric vehicles, called the "Sparrow" that get the equivalent of 359 MPG! They all have 3 wheels, and are considered motor cycles. Therefore they COULD be taken pretty much anywhere you want to go. Legally anyway.

Original design, but for the price and looks, I'd rather have a VW Lupo. Not the same mpg, but still fun to drive and very compact...even comes in a GTi!

Those are kind of cool, dont know how safe I would feel driving one of those on the highway, but then again its not much different than a motorcycle, so its all good I guess.
Could be fun in the snow though .......
