If launched, such prototype car will be a huge success in India.

The original Carver (with the petrol engine, did 180 km/h), was tested by the Topgear crew, they said it could only be developed and made by the Dutch who had a lot of pot smoked and where in higher spheres when they came up with the idea.
Well, I know the guy, Chris, who invented the system and founded the Carver factory (Van den Brink), he was a friend and we used to do a lot of weird things, and he came always with crazy ideas. When we both went to university we lost each other out of sight, but when he came with the Carver I wasn’t surprised.

My daily driver is a S+ Carver. Very practical and just fast enough. I would upgrade to a more refined and more powerful one if possible, but have to settle for the Sub woofer upgrade that drowns some other noice and makes the ride even more enjoyable

If its performance could be increased by one order of magnitude, it would have been a winner. As it is, it remains a glorified mobility scooter. Still, that's a lot more interesting than most product in this world. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Love the ludicrous rear spoiler ! For half the price and double the range, it possibly may be a success. A top of the range 2024 Dacia Sandero, with all the bells and whistles is the same price.

If only it had a bigger battery for longer distances, more powerful motor & A/C I’d be interested in this. Before I forget *airbags*

I like the apparent fun factor of the tilting with the Carver.

[carlosvegagarcia]

Hello, where do they sell it and if it can be imported to Peru, it looks like a very special vehicle.

[RPRosen-kifk]

Happy to see they are achieving good efficiency numbers, about 7 m/kWh and 9 m/kWh.

[williamj.dovejr.]

When will it be available in the states?

I've been looking at these for quite some time, I wanted a carver 1 but they have always been way too expensive, these are cheaper but consider the performance and range are still very expensive.

Perhaps if they only had certain parts made in china with the most important tilt mechanism and such made by a better engineering place the price would fall.

But it's just a very expensive slow vehicle, that has slow charge times for such a small battery.

If you had someone who was a bit on the heavy side that battery would drain very quickly, and because it drained quickly would need to be charged more often thus a shorter battery life would end up being the end result.

So though the idea is fantastic and I'm glad to see they actually added two doors instead of the original one door they were going to go with, it still lacks certain things that would make it a really good vehicle to buy.

11 grand is not a snip, make this 8 grand and they might sell more of them much quicker, and as they become more popular then raise the price to 11 grand once they hit a target but adding extra features.

If scooter can have this body, it can attract new segment of buyers.

[luisfelipelaguna]

Only those who have enjoyed the versatility, agility, and pleasure of riding a motorcycle know how much the elements are their enemy. Carver came to solve all this.

[garrettdebry]

Does this new one still use hydraulics to control the lean? If it’s now electronic, do they use linear actuators?

[christopherhogan-npxb]

It's a nice piece of transportation.. fantastically thought thru.... beautiful and technical design....but much too expensive
.Even in Germany I bought a second hand Dahatsu Copen for 11, 000 € which had 70, 000....I drove thru all eastern Europe on a couple of tanks of gas.. there are great city AND long distance cars out there. I do believe if you can get the CARVER ( the more expensive model) under 10, 000. €..more people will be buying..and more will consider...also if you sold a solar panel to charge at home where one lives..that would be a great package

[KetansaCreatesArt]

The question would be, Does it tilt that much and still balance with a person sitting in there?

[nikkipedro]

Good job again, the Carver looks like a lot of fun. It must be cold in the UK as your hair is turning blue😶‍🌫

[bsimpson]

The only reason I haven’t bought one is the range.
Loved the original petrol engine carver, just couldn’t afford one of them.

[reverendhoover]

I would like to know the safety features employed in this vehicle as there doesn't appear to be a lot of crash protection. I would be nervous of driving this without a crash helmet, but I'd like to try one.
