Electric Three-Wheeled Vehicle By Mark Murphy - The BugE

Electric cars keep the air and their act clean, though can be a bit heavy on your pockets. And not too many people prefer riding electric bikes and scooters and being exposed to the elements. So, here’s a great way to travel green, without burning an enormous hole in your pocket, the BugE. This contraption works on electricity, has three wheels, will protect you from the elements, and costs less than six thousand dollars.

Oh, and you’ll have to build it yourself too! Invented by Mark Murphy, of Creswell, Oregon, the BugE works great on city streets and keeps up with all the seasons, while the commuter sits snug inside. Weighing around 350 lbs (159 kg), this one uses a 17 bhp DC series motor powered by four M34 lead acid batteries with an eight hour charging time.

With a range of about 30 miles (48 km) at 30 mph (48 kph) and a top speed of 50 mph (80 kph), the BugE sure seems to be a great way to travel green!
