A roadable canard. Looks like he's done a lot of study and built R/C models.

Hummmm, dreaming here - 2 electric motors of 10kw each to provide ground
propulsion to 85 mph ??? For a 3500 lbs ??? The Ford Hybrid Escape of
similar mass has 1 70kw motor and can only do 25 mph on that motor !!!

I guess they didn't look at the hybrid competition...

Hello, whoever you are.

I have been drawing my information from the Hypercar information written
about ten years ago by the Rocky Mountain Institute (ww.rmi.org). They seem
to have done quite a bit of work to establish what they thought could be
done at the time. They are proposing a 4 to 5 passenger vehicle that weighs
1000 lbs.

Comments?

Thanks
