It looks promising as a weather-protected alternative to bikes, scooters, and motorcycles. I might be interested in trying a rental sometime. Also, I'd be interested in buying some of their stock if they were publicly traded, but it appears to be a privately held company. One other comment: Given the size of this vehicle, that 'back seat' must be an extremely tight squeeze.

Great!

Put a solar panel on the roof and it’s the perfect EV for me.

[@oliverpolden]

This is they type of thing a lot of people should be buying instead of a full size EV and keep your car for when you need it.

I thought it went belly up ??

I like the battery being replaceable and portable - it's something I like to see in electric cars, even though it could be like a dozen of these portable batteries in an electric car. Plus each battery can be checked for maintenance by a mechanic and can easily be replaced rather than the whole battery set as well as being affordable service, no expensive whole set battery replacement if any of the batteries become faulty, saving thousands for customers on a budget. Because batteries can be heavy, balance can be maintained by having 6 battery pods in the front and 6 battery pods in the rear of the car. Batteries in the basement of the electric car will become obsolete, too complicated and expensive to maintain service. Battery pod design in bonnet and boot of car should be simple and easy to service by anyone with mechanical background

Have my deposit on one. I like the doors for wet/snow and doors off for summer. In Michigan will be more useful then a golf cart (road/community restrictions) and can be used without motorcycle endorsement. Just not on a freeway.

[@nathanahubbard1975]

Why not on a freeway? They have a 75mph version.

[@garydzidowski1134]

@@nathanahubbard1975 Where I will drive it, there are no freeways. Also the S version will probably be longer coming to market and the battery is not removable, a feature I want.

[@nathanahubbard1975]

@@garydzidowski1134 Well in that case, you're buying the city version intended for people in apartments, so yeah no freeway for you.

[@nimbusev3942]

Great to have you on our pre-order list! Our current best estimate for delivering the first vehicles to customers will be sometime in 2024.

[@richarddib]

Just ordered one.

[@cggg490]

Same. Not sure if I’ll lease or buy yet.

[@fazelok]

how would you insure this as a vehicle? I kinda didnt want to have to, you know with no lisence plate - but is that legal in the states as the tricycle design? just wondering

[@CoasterRob]

I've heard they're are describing it as a auto cycle so apparently you need a motorcycle licence

[@Southphxgal2023]

If you slow down around a tight curve, will it flip over? Cause it looks like it could.

[@yulog]

Lighter than a motorcycle? Average motorcycle is 4- 500 lbs.

[@user-kh4wp5ct7y]

Hello sir Lihang Nong, produce Nimbus One in Indonesia please. Our government will give you 10% tax cut. This is good for replacing motorcycle, scooter.

[@nimbusev3942]

We appreciate your interest! We aim to make the Nimbus available in as many locations as possible but will launch the first deliveries in the US. More information will be available as we get closer to the launch.

[@gamehowz6236]

Taiwan badly needs this kind of vehicle

[@Romiman1]

Every big city needs this. But as always, without a big company behind, and without any political goodwill, nothing will happen... :-(
