This is Tech

Engadget has posted some information about a new three wheel electric vehicle called the Triac, with a nice gallery of pics. I have been fascinated with the Sparrow for a while, and this looks like an evolved version. These motorcycle/cars are have some interesting advantages beyond being eco-friendly and not dependent on foreign energy. In some places, vehicles like this are technically motorcycles, meaning they can use the HOV lanes, and here in Washington, get preferential treatment on the ferry system.

We can’t help but find Green Vehicles’ Triac three-wheeled highway-capable electric car anything but stupidly adorable, and it looks it’s is even better than we hoped. Our friends over at Autoblog Green scored some more info on the buggy, and found that the top speed it actually 80mph, and that range is just about 100 miles on a full charge, down from 120 miles as originally estimated. The Triac will also roll with a five-speed transmission, and charge from either a 120V or 240V power source. On top of all that, Green Vehicles is apparently working on a truck called the Buckshot based on the same motor, but with a three-speed transmission that will enable it to be a “true work truck.” Sure, sure — but when can we have a Triac? Seriously, we want to hug it
