I wonder if one could put a modern version of the Messerschmitt KR200 body onto it? It seems like an updated version of the Messerschmitt KR200.

Perhaps more along the lines of the Smite (Facebook Page)?

Is that the Elgin dash? Which side is the gas cap?? just kidding, if I'm not being too pushy about how much did it cost?

BTW, looks great, and with that LCG, should handle well on a formula track!!, use it in good health

Well she is finally all done. I finished up at noon today and am ready for some great rides this year. Thanks to all that helped me along the way. I hope you like the final result.

Thanks for all the compliments.

As far as an enclosure the Eco Exo R was designed as a open exoskeleton vehicle the same as an Ariel Atom. Neither were meant for an enclosure as it defeats what they were designed for.

I have about 15K in it and over 1500 trouble free miles on it right now.

The tires show very little wear so I will replace with the same when they wear out.

The music in the video is coming from the stereo mounted in the trike.

It is just a fun vehicle to blast around the countryside on a nice Summer day.

Beautiful job, you really sweated the details, the differences in the before and after pictures of the welds are awesome. I always heard the difference between an ugly weld and a pretty weld is a grinder and a coat of paint. It looks like a little body filler was also used. It looks beautiful. Enjoy it. Is that a carbon fiber seat? I don't think most people could go from what you started with to this finished product in the period of time that you did. Congratulations. I doubt if it's good riding weather in Oshkosh this time of year. Summer is coming. None of us are tooling around in our E-cars either.
