Re. Infant/ Baby Seat in cargo area


🤔

I believe I remember a write up on the past Aptera 2e about being able to have a infant/ baby seat “behind the front seats”

Will that be an option going follow?

I suppose the passenger seat too may be another location option. I.e.,with an approved infant/ baby seat

This topic was surely not an option in s motorcycle but....we have a “special vehicle“here!

I have asked Chris about this on the Wefunder page here: https://wefunder.com/comments/61433


I remember there are pictures from the old Aptera, 2e there was a baby seat installed. I will try to find it. No plans for it on the start of the new Aptera. But later it will be available I am sure.

Wow.

Thanks for the answer.

Makes sense with present design And plan to relaunch what they have, which is already impressive and unique.

If it comes to fruition in a later model that will be yet another feather in Aptera’s hat.

Making it safe is the most important.



I have six baby grandsons anyhow😁!

    I’m curious how this will be registered in the US and how that will effect vehicle insurance.

    Stability of 3 wheeled cars & other matters

    Discussion 
    In the UK Relient Robins and the Original Morgan three wheelers had a reputation for tipping over when cornering, often with fatal results. Many, many, years ago the original Top Gear team rolled a Robin several times, which was fun to watch. Think about the Moose avoidence test, and avoiding accidents at speed on freeways. 3 wheeled cars are less stable than 4 wheeled cars. Augmenting stabilty with electronics can go wrong - see 737 Max. Perhaps castors on rear corners, as on some RVs with long rear overhangs. An important segment of initial purchasers will include rich old men trying to re-live their youth and show off their greeness. Get some overweight geriatrics to test the getting in and out. The rest of the world is going to higher SUVs, which are easier to get into. Opening windows are required at toll booths, ATMs, entrances to gated comunities, talking to police after traffic stops, etc Federally mandated heights for bumpers/fenders? Low car may not be seen in some traffic situations. Think flags on recumbent cycles. Front and rear streamlined fenders should be (part) removable for driving in slush/snow/mud. Can slush / snow jam up inside fenders and stop the wheel rotating? The solar panels wil get dirty when parked. Consider a purpose made cleaning tool. Think brolly in door of RR. Overall the concept is logical, attractive, and excellent. An excellent start.

    Color

    Discussion 
    Is it possible to use a color in the resin? Just thinking it would be more durable than paint so minor scratches could be simply buffed out.
