Yes, and do you know how much those cost to make? Yes, auto makers do build some alternate fuel vehicles for fleet use, but the owners aren’t paying the full price for the R&D or even some of the production costs. Its costed out under their research budgets. Feasible when its a few cars and they are getting engineering data from the owners, not when you are making them for the mass market. Then you better make a profit or else. And that means volume.

Yes, motorcycle firms do have more experience with three-wheelers and most of the components for the three-wheelers I have seen, and even driven, use motorcycle parts. Maybe that is where you should focus your efforts. Who knows, maybe they will even build some for bikers who are tried of bugs in their teeth and getting soaked in the rain.
Oh, wait, bikers like the wind in their face and their feel of the road you only get on a bike. Well, darn, guess that market won’t work either.

You know that is the problem with a free market driven industry, you must find the market first, not just build what you think they may like…
