TheScooterScoop

Cleat reminded me the other day of a… um… vehicle called the Carver One. It’s the in the family of car-cycles. You know, enclosed, less than 4 wheels, may or may not tilt, usually hauls no more than 2 people.

Since these vehicles are so hard to classify, I like to discuss them here. Even though they are not scooters, they fall into the “microcar” category, which is a micro-commuter, which we DO cover because they tend to be more scooter friendly AND, they are fun in their own right.

So, here it is; eleven years in the making. My favorite quote from the video is, “Honestly, I had one of these last weekend and I have to say, absolute hand on heart, I’ve never had so much fun in a car.” Another notable quote is,”The best thing about this is that you just KNOW it has to have come from a country where drugs are legal.” It’s Dutch.

The reason for the video (and there will be others) is that simple pictures almost never do a vehicle justice. You have to at least see the physics and if possible hear the engine to get a really solid idea of how a vehicle works.

Thanks Cleat! See more (and better quality) videos of the Carver here.
Want one? Be prepared to shell out $48,000 US for a basic model.
Available sometime before 2008 (so they say).
