I have been a bit put off despite a fair number of reviews and tons of other data the 0-60 is a bit illusive. Maybe some of the people on this forum who have driven one can give some first hand estimates on what they expect it to be based on gut feelings but I also did some math to try and figure out if I could come up with a fair estimate.
Their are three other reverse trikes I know to exist on the market. The can am, T rex and p6. I measured them on their pounds per hp and compared it to their 0-60 times. Between the existing three numbers the closest ratio of lb/bhp to time was roughly 1.18 lb/bhp per .5 seconds. This number allowed all of them to match up within 2 tenths of a second of their actual which is not exact but I figure its a very close considering the larger number of variables in play. When you apply that ratio to the SS it comes in around 5.34 0-60 but I would also say the SS is pushing a lot more air then anything else on the market so even with the slowing of the lb/bhp curve it looks like the SS is going to be pushing around 5.3-5.5 0-60.
If this number is accurate and judging by the videos it seems pretty close the SS isn't overly fast. What would you think if the offfical SS speeds came in around this range? I would be a bit dissapointed as I was seriously hoping this thing could tip under the 5 second barrier. Not to mention it means the guy on the can am is still a bit faster then you.
