10 Reasons to Buy ElectraMeccanica SOLO

  • The SOLO is super fun to drive, and will get a lot of attention.
  • The SOLO is much smaller than the average automobile, which makes urban parking much easier.
  • You can expect a range of up to 100 miles. 
  • It contains all the features you'd expect in a vehicle - a rearview backup camera, power windows, AM/FM radio, Bluetooth for hands-free phone calls, and more. 
  • It can reach speeds of up to 82 mph and can go from 0 to 60 mph in just eight seconds. 
  • The SOLO can be charged with 110- or 220-volt outlets via a port hidden under the rear license plate.
  • The battery can be fully charged in as little as three hours or up to six hours. 
  • The two doors allow the driver to enter or exit from either side of the vehicle, which can be especially convenient when you're parked in a tight space.
  • With a seatbelt and integrated roll bar, the SOLO is safer and far more weather resistant than a traditional motorcycle.
  • The smaller body size of the SOLO makes it easier to maneuver among larger vehicles, even in dense traffic. 

3 Reasons Not to Buy ElectraMeccanica SOLO

  • Cargo space is very limited. There is just enough room for one person and very minimal luggage.
  • There is no rear-view mirror or rear window - instead, you use larger side-view mirrors, which can take some getting used to. 
  • The SOLO lacks safety equipment that comes standard in four-wheeled cars. There are no airbags or anti-lock brakes, which makes it a bit unnerving to drive at high speeds.

Bottom Line

The ElectraMeccanica SOLO is sure to turn heads when you drive it around town. This electric vehicle certainly looks nothing like anything the average commuter has seen before, and that's the point. 
To minimize its footprint and make daily commutes easier, the SOLO _is _different, and that's its main appeal.
With impressive range, quick charging, and simple maneuverability, the only question left is whether you're okay with traveling solo everywhere you go - considering there isn't room for much else inside the SOLO other than its driver.

Insider

The SOLO EV is large enough (even for my 6-foot-2-inch frame) and quick enough to scoot past gasoline-powered vehicles from a stop, thanks to the instant torque you get from the electric motor.

That was easily my biggest takeaway from my time with the EV – everyone wants to take a picture of it or ask you about it, because it’s unlike anything they’ve ever seen.

Consider the benefits: the Solo is an all-electric vehicle that is one-fourth the size and weight of a seven-seat crossover.
