Interesting (and somewhat sobering) reading:

My BMW dealer has been selling Vanderhall cycle cars for the last year, or so.  According to them, they are selling steadily, apparently more so than the Energica motorcycles that they also sell.  As mentioned in the article, the Vanderhall cars go for $30,000 and up.

Our local Indian dealership WAS carrying Vanderhaul, but dropped them because they were having too many issues with them; almost twice as much as the Polaris Slingshots they also sell.

At this year's Americade I was talking to the Vanderhaul rep about their "Edison" model (the electric one).  They had one for display that you could sit it, but they weren't offering demo rides with it.  This article is the first I'd heard that they were using a Zero powertrain in it.
