Just the running chassis alone is costing $11,000 in parts alone. Of course, that's all new components, 90% off-the-shelf. It would be great to think it could be built and sold for a profit for $7500. -todd I’m currently designing a prototype electric car for a start-up company.

Just make sure it complies with your states owner built motor vehicle laws. Personally, I have never been impressed with unfinished looking cars like the Ariel Atom and to my eye this one looks just as unfinished. And 50K is an awful lot for so little. I have been working on my own designs, although I have stepped away from a bike engine for the time being, and there is no way it is going to set me back over 5K max when I start putting things together. Keep in mind that there are many suspension design software packages available as well as other tools that keep design costs down. I am inclined to think that a well engineered and complete kit utilizing a bike engine could be produced and sold for around $7500 - less engine. At least thats what my rough numbers indicate.
