I drive down Sandy Blvd to get to work everyday and had been noting the Ecomotion sign on an under construction building at about 16th. From the look of the logo, the location and the space I assumed it was probably some sort of independent auto dealer who specialized in hybrids or diesels or other green minded cars. Then they finally got their showroom set up and I saw all those cute little 3-wheeled electric cars.

They must be open for business now - I do recall dieselboi posting about this a year ago or so (but I can’t seem to find the post…) but I had never actually seen one of these, and now in the past few weeks I have seen several of them driving around in the streets of downtown and Northeast. Plus this morning they had a couple of people standing outside the attached organic coffee shop ‘Hip Drip Cafe’ with signs offering free coffee.

They are really cute and as a short distance commuter car probably make a ton of sense. I’ll be curious to see how successful they are - I hope very! Has anyone driven one or really checked them out?
