ElectraMeccanica Solo
The ElectraMeccanica Solo is a single-passenger, three wheeler, three-wheeled, battery electric vehicle, produced by ElectraMeccanica from 2018 to 2023. History Initially, at the time ElectraMeccanica was founded in 2015, the concept of a three-wheeled small electric car was intended to take the form of implementing an existing project. Co-founder Jerry Kroll was then considering restoring the former American Myers Motors NmG model, to which he had purchased the rights, to production. Ultimately, this three-wheeled vehicle remained only a reference point for building a new, larger and more technologically advanced vehicle. Sketches of the finished design were officially presented in June 2016, and the production model was finally presented 3 months later. The Solo took the form of a three-wheeler with one pair of doors and a slim body that tapered towards the rear unicycle. Similarly to the original by Mike Corbin from 1996, the Solo was designed to transport only one person, th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
New Westminster
New Westminster (colloquially known as New West) is a city in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia, Canada, and a member municipality of the Metro Vancouver Regional District. It was founded by Major-General Richard Moody as the capital of the Colony of British Columbia in 1858 and continued in that role until the Mainland and Island colonies were merged in 1866. It was the British Columbia Mainland's largest city from that year until it was passed in population by Vancouver during the first decade of the 20th century. It is located on the banks of the Fraser River as it turns southwest towards its estuary, on the southwest side of the Burrard Peninsula and roughly at the centre of the Greater Vancouver region. History The area now known as New Westminster was originally inhabited by Kwantlen First Nation. The discovery of gold in BC and the arrival of gold seekers from the south prompted fear amongst the settlers that Americans may invade to take over this lan ...

Cars Introduced In 2018
A car, or an automobile, is a motor vehicle with wheels. Most definitions of cars state that they run primarily on roads, seat one to eight people, have four wheels, and mainly transport people rather than cargo. There are around one billion cars in use worldwide. The French inventor Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot built the first steam-powered road vehicle in 1769, while the Swiss inventor François Isaac de Rivaz designed and constructed the first internal combustion-powered automobile in 1808. The modern car—a practical, marketable automobile for everyday use—was invented in 1886, when the German inventor Carl Benz patented his Benz Patent-Motorwagen. Commercial cars became widely available during the 20th century. The 1901 Oldsmobile Curved Dash and the 1908 Ford Model T, both American cars, are widely considered the first mass-produced and mass-affordable cars, respectively. Cars were rapidly adopted in the US, where they replaced horse-drawn carriages. In Europe and other pa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Microcars
Microcar is a term often used for the smallest size of cars, with three or four wheels and often an engine smaller than . Specific types of microcars include #Bubble cars, bubble cars, cycle cars, invacar, quadricycle (EU vehicle classification), quadricycles and voiturettes. Microcars are often covered by separate regulations to normal cars, having relaxed requirements for registration and licensing. Predecessors Voiturette is a term used by some small cars and tricycles manufactured from 1895 to 1910. Cyclecars are a type of small, lightweight and inexpensive car manufactured mainly between 1910 and the late 1920s. Europe 1940–1970: Microcars The first cars to be described as microcars (earlier equivalents were called voiturettes or cyclecars) were built in the United Kingdom and Germany following World War II, and remained popular until the 1960s. They were originally called minicars, but later became known as microcars. France also produced large numbers of similar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Electric Three-wheel Vehicles
Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter possessing an electric charge. Electricity is related to magnetism, both being part of the phenomenon of electromagnetism, as described by Maxwell's equations. Common phenomena are related to electricity, including lightning, static electricity, electric heating, electric discharges and many others. The presence of either a positive or negative electric charge produces an electric field. The motion of electric charges is an electric current and produces a magnetic field. In most applications, Coulomb's law determines the force acting on an electric charge. Electric potential is the work done to move an electric charge from one point to another within an electric field, typically measured in volts. Electricity plays a central role in many modern technologies, serving in electric power where electric current is used to energise equipment, and in electronics dealing with electrical c ...

Electric Vehicle
An electric vehicle (EV) is a motor vehicle whose propulsion is powered fully or mostly by electricity. EVs encompass a wide range of transportation modes, including road vehicle, road and rail vehicles, electric boats and Submersible, submersibles, electric aircraft and electrically powered spacecraft propulsion, electric spacecraft. Early electric vehicles first came into existence in the late 19th century, when the Second Industrial Revolution brought forth electrification and mass utilization of DC motor, DC and AC motor, AC electric motors. Using electricity was among the preferred methods for motor vehicle propulsion as it provided a level of quietness, comfort and ease of operation that could not be achieved by the gasoline engine cars of the time, but range anxiety due to the limited energy storage offered by history of the battery, contemporary battery technologies hindered any mass adoption of private electric vehicles throughout the 20th century.

Electric Motorcycles And Scooters
Electric motorcycles and scooters are plug-in electric vehicles with two or three wheels. Power is supplied by a rechargeable battery that drives one or more electric motors. Electric Scooter (motorcycle), scooters are distinguished from motorcycles by having a step-through frame, instead of being straddled. Electric bicycles are similar vehicles, distinguished by retaining the ability to be propelled by the rider pedaling in addition to battery propulsion. Electric scooters with the rider standing are known as e-scooters.

Zongshen
Zongshen () is a Chinese manufacturing company which produces motorcycles, quad bikes, generators, and engines. It is based in Chongqing, China and claims to have a yearly output of over 1,000,000 motorcycles. History Zuo Zongshen founded the Zongshen company in 1992. He founded its predecessor in 1982 as small motorcycle repair shop called "Master Zuo" before expanding into manufacturing. In 2006, founder Zuo Zongshen was profiled in the Discovery Channel and CBC co-produced documentary ''China Rises'' as a member of China's nouveau riche. In 2007, Zongshen invested CNY300 million into a new research and development center in Chongqing, as part of their "Cyclone" program. The program is designed to produce unique technology and designs for Zongshen's new models and differentiate the brand from a competitive environment of almost identical models. In 2012, Zongshen exported roughly 30% of its motorcycle production. It re-brands its products in many countries and its product ...
