A solution looking for a problem...

[Adam]

Drycycle closed down.  I remember getting an email a couple of months ago inviting bids to buy the assets.  A few completed versions, and lots of bits and components available.

Edit: Found a Facebook entry: https://www.facebook.com/DryCycle/posts/841191929868417

How completely unsurprising.

[StuAff]

I can only agree....

[Cudzoziemiec]

So now it's an insolution problem.

Love the Twizy but the price has gone up markedly and it could do with a little more range. Quoted ranges tend to be over optimistic, particularly for winter drives. Hoping the Seat Minimo will give it some competition. Drycyle? Not for £15K. Carver? How does it behave under heavy braking? QV? Low and fragile. Maybe put an electric motor in a Leitra or Rotovelo.

Carver are no longer in production (although there has been talk of a resurrection).  If I had the money, I'd have one.

They seem to still exist cos they had someone at the event I was at today.

Where I also had a look at this one:



This is a moped... and a boat... it has a 1000w motor when in trike mode.

And a range of about 12 miles.......

The anchor's a nice touch...

[Cudzoziemiec]

It's a dual-purpose anchor: both emergency brake and anti-theft device.

Isn't that the one which converts into a caravan/sleeping module? I had a YouTube recommendation for the publicity video

[andrewc]

Looks like it would convert into a submarine given the chance.   Wait for it to feature in the next Bond movie.

Fully Charged only went and reviewed it:

I'm not sure I want one but hiring one could be entertaining.

[Cudzoziemiec]

So it's actually not a solution looking for a problem, but a specific solution a very particular set of problems.
