ICYMI Would you consider buying a one-seat three-wheeled EV for commuting within town? - via Drivingdotca EV
Stronach came up with the idea after being stuck in a traffic jam, surrounded by cars and each with a single occupant. He calls it the Micro-Mobility Revolution, defined as the ability to park four vehicles in a standard-size parking space.
The SARIT can hold two people, with the passenger sitting behind the driver motorcycle-style. There’s a small storage compartment behind the seat, accessible through a trunk-style lid at the back, while an exterior holder can carry shopping baskets or golf bags. The windows slide open and the doors can be removed for warm-weather driving. According to a SARIT rep, the electric motor creates enough heat to keep the cabin more-or-less comfortable in winter.
You twist the handlebar for the throttle, motorcycle-style, and the handbrakes operate disc brakes on all three wheels. There are three forward speed settings plus reverse. Top speed is about 60 km/h, but the maximum will be set in accordance with local laws, because these are low-speed vehicles, not cars. They’re intended to go wherever you can legally ride a bicycle or e-bike. The company is also targeting them for university or business campuses, or in gated communities.
Everything’s a prototype right now, and the first one I drove was very noisy inside. The company is working on a fix, and another one was quieter due to a new seat design that better muffled the electric motor mounted under it. I was still intimidated when a couple of large pickup trucks went by me, but whether due to my SARIT’s bright colour or just its oddball novelty, most drivers were very aware of it.
