Electra Meccanica is the electric division of the formerly Italian (now based in Canada) automaker InterMeccanica and best known for its trademark Roadsters. The electric division has been working on its next generation single-seater three-wheeler EV, the SOLO, for a while now and it aims to bring it to market in limited production by the end of the year.

It looks like the company is making progress and this week Electra Meccanica released a quick sneak peek of the SOLO’s chassis.

The automaker has some ambitious specs for the SOLO:

Top speed: 87 mph (140 km/h)

Acceleration: 0-100 km/h in 8 seconds

Range: 100 miles (160 km) on a single charge

Charging time: 3 hours at 220v, 6 hours at 110v

Price: USD$15,000 (~CAD$20,000)

The range might be a bit optimistic considering the company plans to equip the vehicle with only a 8.64 kWh battery pack, but the SOLO has the potential to have very low drag and Electra Meccanica is aiming for it to weight only 450 kg (~1,000 lb).

Here’s the sneak peek (vertical video alert!):

From March 16th to 22th, you can stop by Electra Meccanica’s headquarters in Vancouver (102 East 1st Avenue, Vancouver V5T 1A4) to check out the chassis.

The company is opening up 120 Alpha Series units for reservation with a $250.00 refundable deposit.

The company shared a few pictures and renderings on its website:
