The Zap Alais is a 3-wheel scream machine with a powerful AC24LS high efficiency, air-cooled, AC induction motor running at 216 volts. It’s all electric all of the time and it has a range of over 100 miles.
The wide stance X-Prize car with double-wishbone suspension is available for presale. $1000 puts buyers in line for the first production run of the $35,000 electric vehicle.
Trend Hunter first spotted the Zap Alias back in February of 2008, when the only move it made was via computer generated animation.
