Would love to try one for a day. Low seating position/sensation of speed is supposed to be the appeal.
But yeah no. Douchemobile.

T-rex now legal in ontario

I know they come across like a douchemobile today but if the market gains traction there should be varies "takes" on the concept. I'm partial to lightweight and economy. I'm not looking for a toy altho I would treat it as one when the need arises. Personally I'm seeing a world where everybody lives in open concept quonset huts and drives fuel efficient three wheelers so please take my pov for what it's worth.
Just got back from South Carolina and these things are everywhere down there. Not sure I'd buy one up here, the ROI given our riding season isn't there and I doubt with 1 wheel drive they're very good in the snow.

No thanks. Flow-through air-conditioning in January and February has only so much potential appeal.
Ariel Atom would be the closest thing to an open wheeler for the street; sadly Transport Canada is playing fun police on these

Ever since Jeremy drove one on Top Gear I've wanted to try it...seems like it would make an awesome trackday car that could also be used (sparingly) on the streets.

You are correct Neil.
There is someone in Toronto that imports them for track use only. I also read about someone in Ontario that imported one piece by piece years ago and got it plated as a kit car; not worth the effort/cost unfortunately.

Interesting. That may help open the door for Elio to bring in their three-wheeled enclosed-cabin vehicle, tentative MSRP of $6,800 USD. Linamar of Guelph will be producing the 900cc 3-cylinder engine for that one.
Startup Elio Motors, supplier Linamar team up to build engines

Not gonna happen..the Trex and Slingshot are open air vehicles...this car would never meet Canadian slow speed crash requirements
