Commuter Cars states that the Tango's heavy battery pack and low ground-clearance combine to give it a center-of-mass 11 in (280 mm) from the ground, allowing for stable handling. About two-thirds of the 3,000 lb (1,400 kg) curb weight in the prototype is taken up by the batteries, twin motors, and controller, mounted low in the frame.

Building a three-wheeled autocycle isn't revolutionary, exactly. But making an EV starting at $10,000, with all the usual amenities, makes it a car worth watching. Plus, it looks spectacular.
The Isetta was not popular in the UK until a three-wheeled version was introduced. Although three-wheeled vehicles offer a less stable ride, in the UK there was the advantage of being classed as three-wheeled motorcycles, [30] which meant a lower tax class, and the requirement of only a motorcycle driving-licence. Isetta of Great Britain also ...
Three-wheeler Sparrow cars in 2016. The Sparrow electrical system in a Corbin Sparrow VIN28 is composed of three isolated sections. "Defanging" is the process of changing the circuit to disconnect the high voltage from the low voltage. [5] Line voltage 110 / 220 V AC. Battery charger (on-board charger made by Zivan).
