Looking at the spec sheet, 180cc with a CVT and car-licence compliance is a package that gets me. A three-wheeler that's neither bike nor car threads the gap between regulation and practicality. Compared with older tuk-tuk-style vehicles, the range from daily use to the outdoors gets my pulse up. I'm looking forward to those November deliveries.
