The Unfortunate End to a Promising Line of Trikes

It’s always a disappointment when the manufacturer of a long anticipated vehicle goes bankrupt before they can fully get off the ground, and it’s no different with Carver Europe. The Carver One never even made it to America.

The article quotes Carver Europe director Willem Verheul as saying “Too few people wanted to buy the ingenious sports car at 50,000 euros. We had [planned for] about 300 vehicles sold per year, but in two years, only 200 were purchased” when speaking about the bankruptcy.

Luckily not all was lost, as the company that licensed the unique tilting system, Advanced Technology Licensing Company, is still in business. Hopefully we’ll see a new trike retrofitted with the system in the near future.
