EVette on the news; also shows off its maneuverability

We introduced you to the EVette last year. It's a homebuilt electric 2-seat, 3-wheeler. Builder Tom Sines over the weekend posted a couple of videos on YouTube. One demonstrates the vehicle's zero turn radius and the other is a report from a local TV station that includes an electric pickup doing a burnout. The car does not have a steering wheel; instead a joystick controls braking and steering via drive-by-wire to the rear wheels. The front wheel is not a load-bearing wheel, so Sines can back a lot of batteries under the Countach-style replica body. Sines is still looking for investors.

Evette EV has 200-mile range and goes 60 mph

No, it's not an electric Corvette, but the Evette does look sleek and runs on 24 12-volt batteries that recharge for about two dollars. EV enthusiasts Tom and Yvette Sines area the team behind the car, which has three wheels and has a fiberglass body. The street-legal vehicle is operated by joystick and has a zero turn radius. Tom Sines told the Okeechobee News that the Evette goes 60 mph and has a 200-mile range. The current version is the result of 20 years of work and about five or six upgrades. The Sines are looking for investors to help them mass-produce the car, which they figure could be sold for about $25,000. We'll see if the Sines have an experience similar to other small EV producers. Good luck to 'em. Their website is here.
