Only the rich will own 3 wheelers.
If they were affordable to almost everyone, then yes I can foresee an increase in transportation and parking difficulties. For some people, a three wheeler is easier to drive than a motorbike but that doesn’t solve a 3, 4, 5, or 6+ person family.
The cost of a 3 wheeler must be treated as if it were “beach front property.” Not everyone can have it. I’m sure multi-million dollar corporations and business’s have already taken this price strategy into account. Determining an accurate price($) is being able to justify the levels of circumstances in a society. No manufacturer wants to contribute to gridlock difficulties.
I think, if the price to own a 3 wheeler is high, then the design of comfort and technology should be significantly engineered beyond everyones imagination.

I, like Unc B, welcome our 3-wheeled overlords. Extravagance was fun, but clearly not sustainable. bring on the revolution – we are riding the future!

With these three-wheeled wonders we are witnessing the way of the future, coming at us at computer speeds! The huge American market has lost the Hummer, and various SUV’s with the death of GM and Chrysler, making highways safer for ultra-lights. The slow climb of the price of oil, to an OPEC promised, Saudi backed opening payment of $75.00 a bbl, and to climb from their to much more, ramping up as blackmailer’s greed will, sending oil prices to untold hieghts, will make 80 mpg. commuters invaluable. Families will own and operate three or more of these vehicles for convenience, as opposed to the old practice of one, huge, very expensive “Family-car” and America will have transportation problems like grid-lock and lack of parking space solved. The lighter, gas/Electric or better, Bio-diesel/electric commuters, fast, smaller, safer, and easy to park, two seater’s to accommodate needs of the people, rather than 6 seater’s, to accommodate the designers and manufacturers profit pictures, will make America a happy, profitable, highly mobile society once again, and the “Big Three” will perish on the roadside, with their greedy dividend collectors, in heaps of rusty red iron and planned obsolescence gone wrong! Detroit City, is dying, California and Apetura here we come!

that is a black rubber dress for the suspension. Injection molding makes dynamic parts.
