A large part of the popularity is due to the laws in the USA.
Powered three wheeled vehicles are considered "Motorcycles" by the Federal
government and most states, so they don't need to meet the safety requirements
for cars.
Three wheeled bicycles are specified by federal law as bicycles
I think something similar to the BMW I3 Rex would be a good solution for most
people.
70-80 miles on batteries (less lithium, less weight) would work for the
majority of people 90-95% of the time. For longer trips you switch over to the
onboard generator.
The main problem with the I3 Rex is

Nope. :-)

The width was one of my thoughts, too. I know of a couple of urban bridges
where the "bike lane" is actually a single shared sidewalk. It's been several
years since I lived there and used those routes, but as I recall it required
care for two standard wheelchairs or mobility scooters to get

Do you think that bike riders would accept
Bill, all good points.
The idea that one needs 2 tons of steel round him to get to work is just
plain nuts. I absolutely agree that we need efficient EVs. But it's tough
to even get more efficient ICEVs here. The trend is in the opposite
direction, and it has the immense mass of ultra-rich

Less battery
2 words, - Super Capacitors- If battery tech fails start putting R & D
into Super caps. and solar.
