Aptera Motors has shared another exciting progress update video, giving us our best look yet at its production-intent solar EV out in the real world. The SEV startup recently completed the PI build’s first-ever road trip, traveling over 300 miles using an all-electric battery and free energy from the Sun.

I've owned several recumbent trikes like that one, all of which lifted the inner wheel in sporty driving below my preferred speed.

At which sideways acceleration will Aptera roll over? A heavy battery between the front wheels will help somewhat.

Can-Am Spyders don't roll over easily. You have to put them into reverse while cranking the wheel and pulling the e-brake.
