As "cool" as this vehicle is, I have a hard time seeing it make much progress in the market beyond a novelty. It's basically a covered 3-wheel motorcycle, and that rear wheel is going to hit every piece of road debris that 4-wheel vehicles push to the center of the road. Commuting on freeways in the US would be dangerous. And as a 2-seater it would mostly appeal to the sports car crowd, but it simply isn't a sports car.

It's somewhere between an e-bike and a real EV, so it would need to be priced there too ($10-20k-ish) on a low-margin product. But it will have very narrow appeal. Hard to see how the business makes sense, at least in the US. And the rest of the world has BYD cars.
