It Seemed Like A Good Idea

 A novel, one person car designed in BC seemed like a cool idea. 


A three wheeler, electric and modestly priced at just under $20,000.

Built the first few by hand and then outsourced production to China and then merged with a US company in Arizona to produce the ElectroMechanica solo, EV 3 wheeler.

Of course by now the price had increased, and production problems arose and you can only drive 160 km's. 

And oh, then they kept stopping for no reason. 


The result......




A pile of them in an Arizona scrap yard. 

All 429 of them.

Oh well.

A good idea, until it wasn't.
