Parked next to this Electrica Meccanica Solo at the local grocery, neat little single seater EV. Anyone else seen one?

I have never seen one in the wild, that's for sure. Not much space for groceries in there.

I saw a black one in Temecula, CA yesterday. Cute.

Definitely reminded me of the Isetta, but had a meaty rear tire under it. Think our trucks are at the opposite end of the EV spectrum, but cool regardless.

That thing cannot be survivable in an accident at any speed…

Front was pretty much compact car, side would be scary ?

This thing looks like a death trap. I think I'd rather crash on my Harley than this thing.

Would it fit in the bed?

Test drove one in early 2021. The ride was *REALLY* rough (think "race tuned Miata") and both acceleration and braking was bad - potentially dangerously so.

The rear "trunk" had a surprising amount of storage space, though.

I may be biased being an Arcimoto FUV owner, though. The ElectraMeccanica definitely has a "more polished" look and feel, but is a far worse driving vehicle. (I did invest in ElectraMeccanica - that stock now down 85%…)

But the wreckage (and driver) could easily fit into a standard-size grave, so you save a little money on the back end.
Always a bright side!

I see them all the time here (Vancouver, BC), but this is where headquarters is. Been on the roads here for years now. My friend is an engineer there. I've never personally driven one though.
