"We have confidence in our technology because its predecessor, ExerTrike Tri-Hybrid, went 1,000 miles from Tennessee to Texas on Inderstate 40 legally. It achieved 320 miles per gallon never traveling below 45 MPH and topping out at 62 MPH. It went as far as 160 miles at one time.
We have full confidence that we can add the size and weight necessary for a 2-seat vehicle that will go 80+ MPH and maintain 45 MPH on steeper grades. With the knowledge that we have gained with these trials we have learned that the increases in speed and power cannot possibly pull our proven performance below 100 miles per gallon.

80mph hehehe like to see it after it hit something at that speed by the look of it (aside from its the pig ugliness)
it looks like it would crumble like an aluminium can...can you say 'death trap'

I'm not sure I would label something "Stealth" as it seems oxymoronic! If it has a good spaceframe it could be quite strong, but anything hitting something bigger at 80 mph is gunna be toast, anyway! It's a tadpole, so it's gotta be good!

That BlackJack looks to have a MotoGuzzi engine? The Peugeot 20Cup Concept is sexy aint it! Front end looks Dodge Viperish.
Lets compare for looks shall we-->
Even Stevie Wonder could pick the better looking unit couldnt he? One looks pro the other looks like it was Knocked up by the school of the blind in a backyard shed...That square stealth mobile reminds me of a car from a 1950s sci fi flick, got news for the company building them as far as their future sales are concerned, none of it good..hehehe
I had another site bookmarked (amongst my endless amount of bookmarks) of custom 3 wheelers AND 3 wheel reverse trike kit cars, some electric some ICE but i havent been able to find it (havent come across that one have you Ben?), there was one in particular there i REALLY liked, was all alloy space frame construction too...oooh that would get other Doc excited foooorsuuuuure...shall see if i can trackz the url down ... The T-Rex is a sexy machine, theres a neat vid on YouTube of Tiff Needell giving one a caining, T-Rex with a Hyabusa ass end in it would make the heart pump wouldnt it ...
KiM
EDIT:: Found it...http://reversetrike.com/home.html was actuallly the link i wanted to post initially...
checkout some of these masterpeices...the Stealth guys need to hire someone that has a clue about car design i think...
Venom $29,995 USD
this is a Hybrid XR3 Hybrid $US15 000
Fully Electric $9500 USD
Fully Electric
So yeah..the only thing 'new' with this Stealth thing is its taken 3 wheelers to a new level of ugliness, interested to see how much they try to flog them for...for me the $9500 fully electric i posted above would be my choice if i was looking for a two seater electric trike.
p.s ALL of the above trikes are available NOW for purchase if you have the $$$ they are Kit cars.

Uuuuhm yeeeah thats the link Ben posted above buddy...$50k... how many people you think have placed an order for one?
The XR3 Hybrid $US15 000 looks a far better deal to me...if electric cars are your cup-o-tea...me, give me an ICE Rex ANYDAY until such times one can buy an electric car that can do 120km/hr PLUS ...for 400km on a single charge and only take a minute or two to charge i like the masses wont be interested in electric cars BUT don't let my negativity stop you kidding yourselves ...

Hey AJ! There's a simple maxim regarding trikes and cornering. Tadpoles can and Delta's can't! It's that simple!

Doc Doc Doc...must i dig up video footage of deltas getting sideways before you give up on this 'deltas cant corner' nonsense
Need i remind you of the 3 wheel ATVs of the 1980s? Good mate still has a Honda 250R two stroker from waaaay back then, still goes like a shower of shit and when you hang off the side and give it a fist full the ass end has nooooo probs stepping out for some sideways action hehehe...yeah yeah so they stopped making them coz so many noddies were killed on them tiz the operators fault NOT the bike
You will never convince me a tadpole trike (bike not car) is better looking than a delta though Doc but please keep trying i find it so so amusing if nothing you are persistent ol fella hehehehe (all jokes to Doc dont mean to offend you)KiM

Never do I take offense at those who think differently. I just laugh..................! The fact is that most commercially built trikes are tadpoles for a reason! However, I do feel for you poor folks who have to hang upside down in your part of the world. Must create a lot of flat heads! All in good fun, AJ. I'm just jealous of your metal work skillz, anyway! That's for sure! Keep up the great work and remember, "CandyApple rulez"! Actually a side car motorcycle is sort of a Delta and they corner pretty well, but they got a guy hanging completely off the bike to balance it! Hell of a way to ride!

ROFL you funny fella hehehehee you would think our eyez would be bulging from the blood rushing
to our heads to right Doc hehee You know when you flush the toilet Doc which way does the water swirl?
Clockwise right
jmygann...no idea, .. its still NOT the first HYBRID side by side trike which is what you eluded to
Maybe the first side by side hybrid pedal trike im guessing nobody else has been silly enough to build one and whack pedals
on something that weighs more than a motorcycle is as wide as a car and long as a small truck AND travels at 80mpg
Whatever floats your boat though bud...wouldnt be allowed on the road here without full licensing and
i doubt that would be even remotely possible, we have some strict laws here regarding what can and cant
be driven (as a motor vehicle) on the road.
KiM
Openly NOT a reverse trike fan JUST to annoy Doc
EDIT: "Anyone know of a frame/bike shop that could build such an animal "
LoL "animal" is right...a Pig LoL...
I could build one no probs... But i prefer not to be laughed at by my mates so highly unlikely will happen by me LoL
Unless of course someone produced a shit load of $$$
Then of course there the issue with Doc...hec would NEVER let me live it down

In all seriousness, people packaging is a lot easier with a wide front end, hence the widespread (no pun intended) use of tadpole trikes for so called cars with 3 wheels. Nowhere for feet/legs in a Delta trike for more than 1 person. A tilt trike would solve many problems, but the one availible that I know, is a European Delta and passenger sits behind the driver. I think it costs around 100k USD. A bit much for my retirement income!

I'm starting to warm to jmygann, how bout you Doc hehehehe
Having a 1000watt PLUS on a bicycle seems more feasible than chucking a 4000?watt (for example) motor in a fully enclosed "stealth mobile"
thats car size and expecting the Police to 'buy it' LoL...Thats just me though, be ashame to put all that work in go for a maiden voyage only to have the boyz in blue impound your u-beaut trike and throw you in the can for riding an un-registered/un-insured/un-roadworthy vehicle.
