Default Urban Jet.

Tilting 150mph 3-wheel EV …
Quote:
The UrbanJet is able to accelerate from 0-60mph in less than 3.5 seconds and leans up to 45° into corners. The rear-wheel-drive Urban Jet has the power to rival a supercar and the body would be made from the same material as bullet-proof vests. The front suspension is anti-dive, a-arm, swing arm; while the rear has independent wishbones. Hydraulic discs on the front and rear bring the Jet to a halt and also contribute to the regenerative energy capture during deceleration.
Overall weight is 770lb (350kg), of which half, 312.5lb (142kg), is a polymer lithium battery (26kWH). Full charge in 150 minutes, which should allow the vehicle to travel 350km.
Each Urban Jet will come with a unique plate stating: “Built by Cherban for … “

Default Who is 'Cherban'?

Since the 'bare frame prototype' of this proposed vehicle is not even scheduled to be built and running until Spring 2010 (if adequate 'funding' is obtained); does anyone know of anything that CHERBAN has built or accomplished that would give some credibility to these 'fantastic' claims of performance and range?

I am always 'skeptical' when I visit a website, and many of the information pages are "Under Construction", but the one for INVESTORS is 'up and running'. Really hope to see something like this, but too many others have been mere, 'Vaporware' or scams.

Were you thinking of upgrading from your XY150ZK, that would be quit a difference. Three wheels and being covered would be the same, but in speed and handling (tilting) would be a world of difference.
No, I don't know of any other products they built, the only thing I know of (like you mentioned) is that they are trying to get the money to start producing.
