Would love to have one but the small CMG tanks would be a problem in the States make it to run on tanks like used on outside gas grills and it would be great.

The more R&D and inovations you add the higher the price. Multitudes will pay up to maybe $12,000 – absolute max. Any higher you are limiting your market group. Stop talking and produce now Add upgrades each year, but keep some models priced for the rest of us. Everyone wants to reduce oil consumption and save money, not just those who CAN pay a bunch for a motorized tricycle. I’m going to go Tango.

“”(By the way, can you get snow tires for it?)”"
Probably dirt bike tire, or enduro style at the local cycle shop…

[...] So what will we do now? While the Europeans are busy designing cars with names like Smart and Clever, too many of us will cry and kick and scream and march and protest and write to their representatives before we buy a smaller car, We never learn, do we?

[...] BMW has completed its new “Clever” concept, a compact low emission vehicle that measures just over three feet wide. It’s powered by compressed natural gas and features a hydraulic active tilt system to keep the three-wheeled vehicle upright at low speeds. Three crash testing videos after the jump.

I’d buy it to use in Bangkok’s heavy trafficking street, and I’d get it tuned up to 75 mph. ท่าจะมัน

I would like to purchase one and show it off here in
San Diego, California! Maybe be a distributor.

Who do I make the check out to. I’m serious.

Steven Jordan… it isnt 40k, learn to read.

Also, if you find this impractical, cargo space, people space, etc etc… too bad? Maybe this wasnt meant for you then. This was designed for European like streets where going city speeds is all thats neccesary since if you had to go to a diffrent country you could just take the train. European cities, while more dense, are vastly superior.

Mmmm $40K GBP ? that means $60K AU

If your Australian would buy a

Holden Commodore SS V8
or
A Bmw Clever 1 cycle Trike.
Mmm

Think about it…

The Holdens cheaper anyway..

I care about the enviroment but I also care about how much i will pay for a car.
Quality, Price and Performance.
BMW needs to think about this a little more.

Cargo space? Legroom? Second passenger? You’ve got to be kidding! While I applaud the concept, this vehicle provides nothing more than a mode of transportation. The back seat might hold a gallon of milk and anyone sitting in it will be looking to get out after 15 minutes. Show me a complete video of two average sized people attempting to get in and out of this thing, and about 30 minutes of road time, and I might believe it…

Will only be interested for the ” Thrill ” and not at city driving speed, but more like 120 mph….If not… my Toyota Prius will do fine…Seating for four, cago space and great mileage…not much thrill but your ” Carter ” at 50m/h is no thrill either. It will also means that I still will have to get a vehicule when ever I take the ” Highway ” and compete with faster cars ( 300 horse power + )…and will also keep my 750 Honda Motocycle…for thrills….which is a lot cheaper than your ” Carter “

Reminds me of the motorcycle that was manufactured by BSA in 1973 and had ‘joke’ type reviews. This look like it can be a fun machine but, my experience with motocross machines tells me it is also VERY safe!

Unconventional thinking makes this one of many possibilities to use our limited
conventional resources more wisely. Many other possibilties abound when we think outside the giant boxes on wheels that transport one person to and from work.

I’d like to see one first hand & see if I can get in without using a shoehorn. (Could be a bit claustrophobic). How about a small trailer for road trips? A little extra room and higher speed would be better.

BMW motorcycles are $15k to $20K here in the states. Its hard to believe they could build this for $10k. It also begs the question is it a Bimmer or a Beemer?

Where can you get the fuel in the US ? would gladly pay $15k-$20k US for one tomorrow – This is the way to go if you can make it available to the ordinary person and and fun too – WE WANT ONE NOW – would be nice if there were a little bit more storage area for groceries

if this car runs on compressed natural gas, where do you fill up at?

By: Sue

Everyone at the office wants one! In this day and age, we have to look for fuel economy – why not have some fun too? I would even take the 50mph for the savings in fuel costs, and not primarily for city driving either. (By the way, can you get snow tires for it?)
You know the automakers can do better on gas mileage if required to.
Awesome!

Not bad BMW! Now lets get it on the road in the real world so as to work all of the REAL bugs out. The ICE has been obsolete for such a ridiculous amount of decades. Help lead us into the next paradigm shift to a much needed and even better technology than hydrogen or electric. Thanks!

Great work! However, I am a motorcyclist – I need to get speeds to at least 80 mph. My favorite cruising speed is 65-75 mph. Could I even get
100 mpg at those speeds. Whats the duration of use? I feel cramped in a small space like that, which is why I prefer to have a three wheeler. My wife loves it just as it is and wants one right now.

There is currently only one EU type approved tilting vehicle since september 2002 in production that is the CARVER. When you are first on the block people will copy, quite flattering for the Carver people.It also is as safe and a lot quicker (185kph)and gets good mileage 40mpg+

By: » BMW’s 188 mpg three-wheeled concept that tilts like a bike in corners

Sun, 30 Apr 2006 16:43:18 +0000

[...] Must see photos and videos. BMW and the University of Bath developed an incredibly cool new concept vehicle that corners like a motorcycle via a ‘hydraulic active tilt system’ and runs on natural gas to get the equivalent of 188 mpg. It’s also designed to be extremely safe, as evidenced by the crash test videos.read more | digg story [...]

The report I read at figaro.fr said 100km/h as max speed which is 60mph for you strange people that talk imperial measures still. I’m not sure you need to be able to go much faster since it is targetted at town use primarily. Alot safer than a motorbike, only worry is the electronics that control the cornering but they’ll have perfected that with a failsafe we can hope. Refreshing change from the SUVs that are being churned out despite the hideous fuel consumption they have.
