Three-Wheeled Toss-Up
Procrastinators looking for a more efficient mode of transportation in these trying economic times may find themselves drawn to Vespa mopeds, ultra-compact Kia Soul cars, good old-fashioned Schwinn bicycles, or even Segway electric transportation. Allow me to make another suggestion. At least two different companies now offer three-wheeled vehicles that bridge the gap between motorcycles and larger, more stable automobiles.
First, have a look at the Scoot Coupe. According to the website, it’s “sleek, elegant, smart, and just plain fantastic.” It apparently travels 70 to 80 miles on a gallon of gas, and is “everything you need to turn heads.” Check it out:
Oh, yeah. That'll turn heads.
On second thought, I’d call this vehicle “everything you need to look like you stole a vehicle from the carnival” or “everything you need to look like a toolbag while you drive near the beach.” Wow. Does anyone need to get 80 miles to the gallon this badly?
Conversely, check out the Can-Am Spyder. This vehicle is produced by a company that got its start making snowmobiles, and it shows in the design. It’s available with either automatic or standard transmission, and like the Scoot Coupe, it seats two. The similarities end there, though.
Everything you need to be a raging badass.
Yes, the Spyder costs as much as a small car. No, it doesn’t get 70 mpg on the highway. On the bright side, though, it can actually travel at highway speeds. Also, it won’t cause members of the opposite sex to view you as some sort of sensible, green-minded, responsible, boring, predictable dork.
Have I lost sight of the original intent of this post, namely, more affordable transportation? I have. Does it even matter, now that you’ve seen the Can-Am Spyder? I think not.
