Aptera 2e



By this time next year, they could be millionaires — or so say the makers of the Aptera 2e, the space-age American successor to the three-wheeled Reliant Regal driven by Derek “Del Boy” Trotter in Only Fools and Horses, an older British television sitcom.
Technology has moved on a long way since the Reliant made its debut in Britain amid the fuel crisis of 1973. For a start, the $25,000 Aptera 2e runs on batteries, not petrol, although the 4,000 or so customers who have already put down deposits will be offered a hybrid version.
Also, the third wheel is at the back of the vehicle, not the front, making the Aptera 2e look more like a UFO than a tricycle.
