The LA Times recently got a test ride of the Aptera electric car recently. The Times also test drove several other three-wheelers including the Vectrix V3, TriRod F3 Adrenaline, Piaggio MP3 500, and Can-Am Spyder. The Times reporter only drove along in the passenger seat of the Aptera but she said the futuristic ride felt stable at 45 MPH. The Aptera Type 1 comes out this year, will cost less than $30,000, has a top speed of 80 MPH and can go 70 miles on a single charge at a constant speed of 80 MPH. It is sure to be one of the more unique electric cars released in 2008.Related:
