Electra Meccanica Vehicles Corp. of Vancouver, British Columbia, officially unveiled the one-seat Solo on Friday.
The Solo could go on sale as early as November pending approval by U.S. and Canadian regulators.
The Solo is classified as a car in Canada and as an autocycle in 41 U.S. states.
That means it doesn't require users to wear a helmet or have a motorcycle license, but it also doesn't have some safety features that are required in cars, like air bags.
The company sees the vehicle as ideal for low-speed commutes but it does have some safety features.
Those include a backup camera, chrome-alloy tubes built into the side for crash protection and aluminum crush zones in the front and rear.
The Solo's body is made from the same strong but lightweight aluminum composite as the floor on a Boeing 787.
The Solo has two front wheels and one rear wheel and is 10 feet long, or about 14 inches longer than a Smart car.
The Solo is powered by a lithium-ion battery that can go 100 miles on a charge. It takes three hours to fully charge the battery using a 220-volt outlet or six hours using a 110-volt outlet.
It has a top speed of 80 mph and goes from zero to 60 mph in 8 seconds, which is equivalent to a Toyota Camry. The Solo has some fancy features, like a digital instrument display, Bluetooth connectivity, power windows and keyless entry.
