The firm's product is a 27 horsepower maxi, running nickel-metal hydride batteries that are good for a claimed 40km at 100km/h or up to 100km at 40km/h.
The fully auto machines (they run a sealed planetary gearbox in the rear wheel hub) are expensive, at $17,500. However we're told the importer has a four-year finance plan for the machines, which includes the cost of insurance, maintenance (other than replacement tyres) and a roadside assist programme.
Interestingly, photos on the company's web site suggest the firm has also been playing with a three-wheeled version, similar in concept to Piaggio's MP3.
