It was a two-seat vehicle that resembled an enclosed motorcycle but had a steering wheel for car-like control. Its design allowed for motorcycle-style tilting of the chassis for increased cornering speeds, but with the stability of a car. Priced at over $35,000, the One didn't light up the sales chart and Carver was forced to declare bankruptcy two years later. Now the Carver name is making a return, though this time with a focus on electric power. Speaking with Dutch website AutoRAI, Anton Rosier, CEO of the reborn Carver, said his team has improved the titling system of the original Carver One and has been testing a prototype since late 2017. The tilting system is known as Dynamic Vehicle Control (DVC) and is designed to keep the vehicle almost upright around corners at slow speeds but allow up to 45 degrees of tilt when going fast. The new model will simply be known as the Carver and the first examples are due for delivery around September. The starting price is $9,600 for a limited edition launch model after which Carver will add a more affordable, higher volume model. Power in the Caver will come from a pair of electric motors independently powering each of the rear wheels. They will deliver just over 5 horsepower combined, which should be enough to get the Carver to its top speed of about 30 mph, limiting its appeal to city dwellers only. As for range, you'll be looking at between 50 and 60 miles thanks to a 5.3-kilowatt-hour battery ... Availability of the Carver in the United States is yet to be announced.

The Chinese company was very interested in applying tilt technology in an indoor double vehicle with electric drive. Carver sold the tilt technology under license. "The development in China proved difficult afterwards," says Rosier. "The IPO of Sunra did not help either, because it meant that projects were put on hold . About half a year after March 2015, we decided to take matters into our own hands and develop an electric vehicle ourselves with tilting technology. We actually followed our own dream. All licenses were phased out. There was a risk, because those licenses were an important source of income for us. However, our confidence in the new electric Carver is great. The step was taken. " ... The powertrain of the new Carver has been developed in-house. "We position the new Carver in the scooter class - a scooter driving license is sufficient - and have adjusted the powertrain to this segment. He has two electric motors, one in each rear wheel. They deliver 2 kW each, together that results in about 5.5 hp. You obviously have a lot of torque so you can accelerate quickly. The top speed in the Netherlands is 45 km / h, but in some countries, especially Asian countries, the Carver is regulated at c km / h in connection with regulations, "says Rosier. The sprint from 0 to 45 km / h takes only 4 seconds ... Carver installs a 5.3 kWh lithium battery pack in the tricycle, good for a range of 86 to 90 kilometers according to the new WLTP measuring method. Rosier: "For a scooter vehicle that is significant, because often you have enough cities in a few kilometers. Recharging simply goes through a 220 Volt socket: 4 hours of charging is good for 80 percent battery charge and after 6.5 hours of charging the battery is completely full. The charging cable is incorporated in the vehicle and automatically rolls up ... Behind the second seat is 75 liters of luggage space, spacious enough for a beer crate. That was a wish of the development team, haha! This luggage compartment is accessible by tilting the spoiler construction upwards. A convertible roof is standard ... Carver opens the pre-registrations. A deposit of 750 euros is sufficient to buy one of the 500 copies of the Carver Limited Edition. Rosier: "If you order now, you can test drive in May or June of this year. If the Carver does not meet the expectations, you will receive the 750 euros back. In September 2018 the delivery and final assembly will actually start in the Netherlands. We expect that we will be able to hand over all 500 copies before the end of 2018. The price of the Carver Limited Edition is € 7,990, all-in . In 2019 we introduce unlimited models with a comparable price. In the same year we have the goal to produce a total of 3,000 Carvers or more. You always buy a complete version. At first there is a choice of four colors: gray, white, blue and orange.
