The first of its kind, the Ample Auto EO e-Quadricycle sparks discussion. Debuting at the Los Angeles Electric Vehicle Symposium, the strangely shaped vehicle is being described by the company as a “four-wheeled motorcycle.” The e-Quadricycle is completely powered by electricity, and a step toward the company fulfilling its goal “to preserve and provide a safe and healthy environment for future generations.”
The miniature mobile has some interesting design features. This includes a backward-facing camera on the dashboard that acts as a replacement for the lack of side mirrors. While the driver’s seat is at the front, however, two facing foldable seats are behind it in order to fit two other passengers. Finally, the EO may not be a speedster only going up to 65km/h, but a single charge can last around 200 km.
