Well, at least we finally see a teaser construction photo: http://www.rqriley.com/images/xr3-chassis.jpg <http://www.rqriley.com/images/xr3-chassis.jpg>...
The XR3 gets a top speed of around 85 mph. I assume this speed is a combination of diesel & electric. When the batteries run out, the top speed would be on...
... Hi, Someones published some "independent analysis" of XR3 projected performance at this web site: http://www.fev-now.com/index.php?page=XR3Baseline. ...
I hadn't checked Riley's website for a while. Today I found lot's more rendering's of the body. Have a look: http://www.rqriley.com/xr3.htm I'm not at all...
Yes I think that there is a lack of storage myself. I guess it goes with the territory when you build small & light. We could put a trailer hitch on it and...
No kidding about the storage. Why couldn't there be a storage compartment fashioned into the upper part of the rear accessible by one or both of the engine...
If you look at Riley's designes over time; every vehicle in some ways relates to the last one, but builds on the previous experience. This is the first Riley...
Can someone venture a guess as to what is in the "drum" protruding from the side of the rear wheel in the renderings? Are we looking at a motorcycle type...
... Looks like the motor is at the very end of the frame in one drawing. In another drawing from the left rear that looks like a silver object (motor?) just...
Well, if I squint a bit it almost looks like one of the in-wheel motors that can be seen here: http://www.pmlflightlink.com/motors/EW_details.html. Although I...
I was just showing the XR3 to a friend and noticed that the projected release date has now been moved back to May. At least the postponements are getting...
Ok, I've been doing a little research (Thank God for Google!) and I think I've pieced together a little of what *may* be going on. While a little vague, there...
... Here is my pet theory (Only a swag): What Riley will likely do is add an After market Turbo to the D902 engine putting it up in the 23 HP range mentioned...
I like many of you, have scads of questions I'm anxiously waiting to get the answers to. If anyone has any insight to the ones below I'd love to hear about it....
Quite a few post Gary. Yes I have many questions also about many of these things and more. I also grow tired of waiting and waiting just to get some more...
... Thanks for your response Rob. Yes, lotta posts. I'm clearly fascinated by the prospect of a true build it yourself hybrid. :-) I have actually solved some...
First of all, I have no idea how the rear suspension will work, what follows is just a possible design. But while looking at the renders It appeared that the...
I was just looking over some trike body styles used for maximum efficiency, minimum drag, and they all seem to stress a pointy rear. In my mimimal experience,...

... One other quick point Thomas, you *can* do the pointy rear end if you want. Lots of people modify plans to fit their needs. With the Tri-Magnum many people...
I was curious about how the design of the XR-3 varied from the Tri-Magnum. http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/xr3car/files/TriMag-XR-3.jpg Using the numbers...
Interesting analysis, did you happen to do the same with the top views? Just curious, because there is a lot of discussion of the Tri-magnums woeful lack of...
So far I haven't found a good top down view of the XR-3 or the Tri-Magnum. Everything else I've seen on the XR-3 is an angled perspective. The only remaining...
Hey Tom, I've given the pointy rear some more thought. If you came to a point but embedded a wing at the point, it might give you the space you need for...
