MCX Project on kickstarter - motorcycle crossover

My interpretation was that the kickstarter is just to raise enough money for them to order the 10 shells required for their supplier.  I was under the impression that the rest of the vehicle is pre-production, but it exists.  So you could theoretically purchase a complete model at some point, just not yet.

 

$10k for a carbon fiber shell is one thing.  How much is the aluminum shell going to cost? 

 

You'd really need a lot more specs to make a value judgment.   A vehicle of this size needs to cost under $10,000 with a drivetrain and get 55mpg, or cost under $20k, and be able to perform like an Ariel Atom ...and still get 40+ mpg.

Too bad the Aptera died. It had some awesome aerodynamics, translating to a drag coefficient lower than Lance Armstrong at full tuck on his bicycle. It was pretty damn zippy, and quiet as hell.

I'd like to get my hands on one of those mules they built. 280px-Apteracar1.jpg
