🤔... Too much?... You are retired😎 There is just the two of you now.
You live on a set budget But your going to be needing to replace one of your cars soon.
You made a good recreational purchase and enjoyed the RV and can still use it but... it is a gas guzzler, massive RV, which is hard to drive off the highway. A motorcycle is not for you, to buzz around for short runs when the RV is parked. (You or your partner don’t care for heat, noise, bugs, bad hair days and sun exposure and there are safety concerns with a motorcycle. )...
... but an agile Aptera with Never Charge range can be a solution to complement getting around more on your adventures... and in style!
Why not get Hitched😁
I understand, “back in the day”, some past Aptera prototypes where towed to some locations on a dolly trailer like this!
If they design it so it can be towed, then great. But, I can't imagine driving an ICE RV. If you're going to do that, get an I.D. Buzz camper.
Ha! No I am speaking to the many existing huge RV owners who pull interesting “shuttle vehicles” behind them out here. Still very populat in the SW.
Free solar charge ( fuel) while in tow!
(I too could never justify a big RV, but it could make sense for others lifestyle/family
I have great childhood cross country trip memories with the family though! My parents could only afford a small pop up trailer pulled by the family’s only vehicle ( station wagon) and hey... It worked!)
A lot of people live in RVs. Makes a lot of sense - no RE tax, less insurance, lower utility bills, flexibility. A super energy efficient, light EV "toad" would be ideal.
Okay, got it.
Since all three wheels will have a motor, I do not see how it will be towable unless you use a trailer.
See my Jan 18 blog on this.
I was told my Aptera that it could be towable as shown, with the two wheels up on the dolly trailer. But we will not know for sure until at least the development vehciles are tested. I am sure this will be one of those accessories they will have and outside vendor supply. Surely the proposed wide front wheel width will be an interesting fit too. Not a priority for me but nice to dream
It should not matter having a motor in every wheel, there is no differential/transmission that needs to stay lubricated. Just have the vehicle in neutral so none of the e-brakes or parking pawls are active.
