Looking for some electric but are frustrated that a motorcycle doesn’t have enough while a care has too many wheels?  Probably not, that’s just silly, let’s be serious.  The TRIAC, from Green Vehicles, is a zero emission* three wheeled highway capable plug-in electric that deserves some serious attention.  The thought of a three wheeled vehicle reminds me of one of my first set of wheels, but the TRIAC is far from a toy going 100 miles on a single charge and capable of traveling 80 MPH.  Charging takes about 6 hours and the 100 mile range can be upped to 125 with an optional capacity boost pack.  It has a low center of gravity and employs a reinforced steel cage to protect the occupants inside it’s alleged spacious and comfortable cabin.  They are taking pre-orders for a July 2008 delivery and test drives will be available by mid-July.

* 0 emission directly, indirectly, however all things that we plug into the wall require electricity that comes from power plants which in the US produce a lot of green house gases.
