Your videos light a bulb in my head, that inspire me in my own business which is a clinical laboratory. Thank you 👍

Sandy adding value in tremendous value as always. The other dude truly sounds like a car salesman 🤦‍♀️ “We want to make the safest production vehicle in the world”, Sandy goes quiet, I believe because he’s aware how well Tesla is doing. Engineer vs salesman

Sandy. Suggestion: Find the corner which Top Gear filmed the overturning Robin and get a car of that era to go round the corner fast, which will under steer. Then get the Bricklin and Nobe to lawlessly screech round the same corner.

The biggest problem to me with 3 wheeler's is that you cannot miss bumps with us why we in the UK call them "Puddle Jumpers"

Long Sandy videos are the best

'i sold Yugo's' is not a good way to introduce yourself

We need a Reliant Robin teardown!

Was waiting for... "But wait, there's more!"

Once you hear his lip slapping, you can never unhear it. Sounds like an Ev pyramid scheme using the slingshot prototype? He might be wrong about setting up dealer networks, I would think you should follow Assembly factory and various warehouse strategy like amazon. People buy without seeing the car now. Personally, combine this idea with TATA Nano, and you got something. But sacrificing the back seat of a corolla for about the same price, doesn't make much sense yet. If i want two seater, i'll still choose Can-am- Doors for what!

I am surprised that Mr. Monroe would associate himself with Mr. Bricklin. Bricklin has a certain reputation, and he still talks like a con man.

I really respect Sandy, but this dude seems sketchy to me. And smacking on a piece of candy or cough drop the entire interview. So irritating.

Mr. Munro I a former postal employee implore you to redesign the Postal long life vehicles of the US Post Office. They need to go EV and be more efficient and safer. They are so old they are nearing 40 in 4 or 5 years. please contact some in congress or Post Master with ideas

this is fantastic. so many great ideas. I live in Canada, obsessed over cars all my life, and my dad pointed out a Bricklin to me at a car show. i had never seen or heard of one and they are fascinating. Here i am probably a decade later since first seeing that Bricklin, and I find Malcolm Bricklin super fascinating. Need to find more info on him what a great guy!

The Top Gear Reliant Robin piece was a complete setup. There was nothing wrong with the Reliant Robin per se, but as usual Clarkson and Top Gear rigged the Robin to severely tip over. The first thing they did was weld the differential so that when the inner wheel lifted power was still directed to the outer wheel so allowing the tip over. Then they cut down the drivers side rear suspension spring to make the car roll really badly on a left hand turn. If they could find a road with severe camber so much the better. The Robin was a wobbly beast and thoroughly unpleasant to drive but in no way was it anywhere near as bad as Clarkson portrayed it.

Every car associated with Bricklin ends up on bricks. Hope this is an exception.

thing that makes me excited : 1 High wheel torque on demand 2 Styling 3 Low turning radius 4 Urban driving 5 initial cost 6 cost of ownership Things that worries me is : 1 access to parts at descent prices 2 access to certified technician 3 DIY parts margin 4 time of warranty. Clients want a secure investment. 5 and dealerships in the time where everything delivered at your doorsteps is awkward for me

Sorry Gentlemen, I hear you...but I just can't wrap my head around most people being OK purchasing a 3 wheel vehicle. Car looks great, and the fact that Mr.Munro is involved inspires confidence in the final product. What I like less is the 'Anti-Tesla' approach, meaning everyone else building the guts of the vehicle (much like most of today's builders) and going into an old-school car dealership setup. Good luck!

That's a cool looking car

I've got a Bricklin SV-1 in the garage. A very cool and unique car that draws attention everywhere it goes. I know electrification is the future, and can't wait for the charging infrastucture to expand enough to support the mass change. I can't wait to see how that beautiful rendering looks in reality either. Who knows, maybe there will be 2 Bricklin's in the garage, lol.

1,800 more subs till 100k, this channel deserves way more. Teaching is undervalued, especially for those who sacrifice and teach during a pandemic.

A few red flags on this guy

I like the Munro green tie.

2022 came and went. I love the car, but I am also a big fan of the Aptera. Neither has come to production. Yet, I am still holding my breath and hoping both come to production. I also own a 75 Bricklin as you can see see in my thumbnail.

If the Aptera is cute, this car is a supermodel. Wow!

Isn't it the obvious trend in the US right now that larger vehicles are what people are demanding? Personally, I wouldn't consider buying anything smaller in seating/cargo capacity than a Honda CRV. People will accept the shift to the three-wheeled concept if the vehicle itself is larger and offered the space people are used to. A 2-seater for $25k is a "toy". In all seriousness: The first company to make a 25k, 250-mile range MINIVAN for families and everyday, normal use will make a KILLING. Please stop giving us expensive niche vehicles - everyday working Americans need normal, affordable, usable rides. Thanks for sharing your continued great content and expert knowledge! :)

Sounds like a salesman who talks too much

Nice to see Malcolm still active. A good Canadian Corvette story. I've seen a couple Bricklin on the highway - one might have been in New Brunswick.

I don't know how secretive you guys want to be about these cars, but Bollinger have made step by step videos of their dev. and this has been an effective part of their marketing. I'd be really interested in watching these products brought to life.

I can't believe Malcolm Bricklin is still alive. I remember seeing the Bricklin SV-1 in showrooms. I think he also started importing Subarus into the U.S. Edit: guess I should have waited longer to comment.

Why, it's "P.T. Bricklin"! You know, the one who coined the phrase "There's a sucker born every minute" and spent most of his "career" exploiting this truism. Can we expect that before the end of 2020 we will see the debut & showcasing of the new DeLorean TMC ("Tri Motor Car")? I'll bet they'll have a real nifty set of slides with cool renderings. Sandy, it seems you are on the path of being used as a "name" to provide some credibility and attract investor money. First by Archimoto, now by Bricklin. Fiskar just got his sucker money deal or he might have been next. Think of your name as valuable "branding" like Disney or Apple and use it as a licensing $$$ opportunity. Both make more money in licensing than anything else they do. Note: they get cash up front. As for the question about 3 or 4 wheels, it is less important than 2 or 4 passengers. Back in the 60s there was a push at Ford for a 2 seat Mustang. It was quickly determined that it would be a marketing disaster, even though the rear seats were unusable for teens and adults, people wanted the rear seats.

way too many red flags. way too old-school in his thinking (dealerships, areas/territories assigned to dealers, mandatory commitment of millions for an unproven machine). I think this one is a big nope, but I could be wrong. I think he needs to look long and hard at how Tesla is doing it... drive costs down, vertically integrate, sell direct to the public via internet... and soon Tesla will come out with a 25K car and where does that leave the 3-wheeled market??? Unless it sells for ~10K, it is dead in the water.

Love your programs!! Thanks Sandy.

When I first heard him talking about his dealership model I thought it all sounded very old fashioned. And then I heard his idea for hiring veterans and I realized he may just have a hook. The Tesla anti-dealership model likely wouldn't work for his target market: retired people. It sounds like hes got the perfect pitch for retired folks. But my big overarching question for all of these small 3 wheeled vehicle companies is: how does all of them build a seperate dealership model? Or do they all end up lumped together at a 3 wheeler store? Can you sell a Briklin, Nobe, and Archimoto under the safe roof or is that too much of the same thing in one place?

Sandy I can't see how a "gyroscope chip" can substitute for a gyroscope in producing resisting torque to sideways rolling when going too fast for a bend on level ground? No amount of air suspension adjustment driven by the gyro chip will make a difference to counteract the centrifugal rolling torque.. The normal resisting force upwards from the ground on the outside wheels is limited by the weight of the car.... Air suspension or not. Am I missing or misunderstanding something Sandy? Are you saying the car will lean into the bend via the air suspension to create an increased opposing torque? Like a motorbike

I would be shocked to see any 3 wheeler succeed. Difficult rear tire maintenance, less traction in snow, negative public perception.

Not sure I like the car, but I like the car a whole lot more than I like the business plan.

This sounds like a free advertisement for Bricklin

$12/$15 “share” value is meaningless. They will be only share options. Only upon going public will the value of those shares be calculated, based on the value of the company at that time, divided by the number of shares. Nothing to stop this guy diluting or going public at a $1 share price.

The original Bricklin was a Canadian icon. One question, how will a three wheeler work in snow?

Did you think about this? People buy things for status symbols. They buy a big flash house then buy a Doge Ram, a flash boat and a winibago just to park in front of it. The boat and the motor home never go anywhere. It’s all just for show. I do wonder if Elon thought of this in his grand plan.

Fantastic to see two old guys (sorry Sandy, you’re not THAT old ;) being so much more forward looking than the rest of the industry, wanting to innovate and complaining about the same old same old. Age is relative.

I'd love to know what you think about dyson and/or apple products. They seem quite innovative but these products are also crazy expensive

Sandy is now officially King of 3 Wheelers :-)

THANKSGIVING

This is in relation to a comment I made below, and I've had some time to think about it. Why does a trailer have to be a dead weight? Everyone is concerned about EV trucks and towing capacity. What if all trailers also had drive? Batteries and motors can be located to maximise load capacity. The trailer can be linked to the cars logic systems to created a smart unit. A caravan needs power for cooking and lighting, just integrate it with driving the wheels. Driving a trailers wheels would also help when manoeuvring when not hooked up to a vehicle. Hell, with a BT link you could use your phone to direct the trailer where you wanted.

...also, here in Winnipeg I still see a couple of bricklin cars in use...

I have some issues with his business model. Why does he need distributers? Sell them direct like Tesla. It's adding complexity to a simple problem.

I knew a couple guys with Bricklins back in the '70s. Good luck with all that.

WOW these comments are a mixed bag. I, for one, will remain cautiously optimistic about any new EV company I see until it proves itself one way or another. The fact that Nobe, Arcimoto, and now this company have Sandy on board is a very good start. We'll see how it all pans out.

on their homepage everything i fabulous and great, looks like a kids project.

Claims car is inherently stable and has superior handling. Hmmm, it’s a 3 wheeler and no 3 wheeler to date can be described as inherently stable. By the sheer nature of having only 3 wheels makes it unstable, admittedly having the single wheel at the rear does work better than having the single wheel at the front but and it is a big but, in no way can this design be described as safer than a vehicle having a wheel in every corner. Back to the drawing board I think.

Old guys rock!

Yikes, he’s still kicking around. Stiffed Canada with his Bricklin joke. This sounds more Pyramid than Nikola.

Never thought I'd seen a Bricklin car outside of the museum in NewBrunswick :)) That said, a 3-wheeler is indeed a great optoion for an EV considering they'll be cheaper than cars yet have more batteries & a faster charger than a motorcycle. Here in Quebec, we're producing the BRP Spyder that proves there's a demand for 2 front wheels 3 wheelers. But could this drive in winter??

Nice guy... seems like the promoter type. Aptera is where I put my $. It’s all about efficiency.

As a submariner, the "anti submarining" comment in regards to the seatbelt confuses me.

I love this Shit.... Sandy you Rock.....

My dad had a reliant robin we went everywhere in it 50 years ago , we have come a long way since then this sounds a very good idea normal people won’t be able to afford Tesla .

I thought that this episode will be about lawn mower 😂😂 (from that look of the thumbnail)

Love the vids sandy but consider updating intro music. Find a local musician play something short and catchy. I don't like it because many other youtube channels have the same intro.

The idea is interesting....... but not with Brickland involved. I'm sorry, but I've heard far too much about what happened in the province right next door to mine for me to trust that Brickland can do this. Maybe he's learned to in the past 50 years, but I dunno........

I wonder why there wasn't a part 3 to these interviews...? Oh, I know, Sandy couldn't get a word in edge-wise! 😂 Talk less, listen more, you are talking to an engineering genius!!!

Where's the car, it's been five years.

What an interesting project. Nice to seen something positive for the veterans. I wish him well it what does. Thank you and Keep well.

1500 pounds saving in weight? It'd be very interesting to see a breakdown of that.

For $26K I'll take a real car with 4 wheels.

ty 4 sharing

Sounds like Ponzi scheme...

@2:52 “Guys, if we take off a wheel, how much weight do we save?...1500 lbs.” I’m certain I can add a wheel and not add 1500 lbs. The main reason these 3-wheel vehicles are coming out is they can bypass most safety regulations, although I believe NHTSA is trying to block that loophole. If he wants to build a safe car like he attempted in the SV-1. The new car design looks nice from the front until you see they forgot the 4th wheel. Make it 4-wheeled and required to pass safety standards and maybe Elon Musk will be more receptive to helping. Elon Musk doesn’t like motorcycles or anything registered as one. Lol

I really like the idea of a three wheel car, but until now it has to be two at the front and one at the back because of the stability. If individual electronic control of each wheel and each suspension unit removed the instability then that would really take off.

Where's the car? It's been four years.

T-Rex has been the most impressive three wheeler that I have seen with a Hayabusa motorcycle engine

something is off about that guy

Sandy, is a 40mm grenade that I see in the background of mr Brickling?:)

Is there really no big reason why three wheeled vehicles are less safe than four wheeled ones? Then why does Elon have such a bad view on them?

I believe Mr. Bricklin said his plan is to buy every part so his business just assembles the vehicle...with that many businesses taking a profit, how can the 3-Wheel EV Bricklin Company be very profitable?

What happens when you brick your Bricklin?

Just remember, if it ain't cool it won't sell, no matter how smart you think it is.

Sorry to say, but Sandy, I think you are on the wrong way with these 3EV companies here !! This old guy talking to you, sounds like a money scam - please beware.

If he's going to produce the vehicle in subassemblies and ship them to the dealers for final assembly and sale, why not also make kit car versions which a DIY can assemble in his/her garage and then possibly get it certified at either the local DMV or Bricklin dealer? People will want to customize these--why not have an easy path for them to do so?

Thank you Mr. Munro. Great segment. I would buy a bricklin in a heartbeat. Luv the concept.

We want a Sandy podcast!!!!

When will we see some of these in Australia?

3 wheels minimize your chance of dodging potholes.

3 wheelers are niche products that will never be mainstream even if cheaper. Tesla has a solid plan for cost reduction of the battery and some structural elements. Companies like Canoe and Arrival have ways to completely eliminate parts of the manufacturing process and eliminate capital. Removing an entire wheel is a severe, low quality move.

Are you open to adopting self driving systems on your vehicle, specifically Comma AI?

Bricklin dealer story is classic ($3900 sell for up to $6900) - stealerships - can his new business model fix that ?? Get Munroe pay up front -I suspect Sandy knows he can't finance others, he needs to earn money to run his company too.

I have a question. When showing the slides, (pages), of the proposal, I noticed two prices. My question is whether this is for a "normal" two-seater and a fully optioned two-seater, or if this is for a tw-seater and a four/five seater variant? I'm hoping for the latter, as a two-seater mostly won't cut it for families.

Why a dealership network to begin with? How are the dealers going to make money without the maintenance/repair part of the dealership equation?

This is going to be amazing timing with dealerships as well, great great plan for distribution.

Won't these 3 wheeled vehicles require the driver to have a motorcycle endorsement on their drivers license?

It's two years later and that car is not in production. Elon cannot build batteries for free, but Tesla sure has gone a long way toward reducing the cost of battery packs. This guy, that has already had a failed motor company, is talking about distributors, dealers and outsourcing parts, is making all the same mistakes that are killing the legacy auto manufacturers. I give him a 0.0001% chance of succeeding in this endevor.

I'm betting boosted board.. have been there... weight/ratio if you need an excuse.... watch tom scott's 'the city of golf carts'..

I just went to the webpage. Please fix all your typos

The SV-1 was Malcolm Bricklin’s ill-fated effort to build an affordable sports car. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bricklin_SV-1. As for his history with the Yugo, this book tells all and is funny (and sad) as hell. “The Yugo: The Rise and Fall of the Worst Car in History” by Jason Vuic

Mind-bending. Thank you very, very much.

This man has a great vision but it needs honest and devoted people next to him to succeed.

tha tha tha that's all folks

The only reason Sandy is excited about the 3-wheelers is the relative freedom of engineering as the usual regulations don’t apply... 3 wheels is a fail, cause it’s as wide as the 4 wheel one, but seats fewer and takes less baggage. Also, a wheel always hits a pothole.

Hey Sandy, is there any interest in adding self driving capability into these are these 3 wheel veichles, such as making it compatible with comma ai open pilot for example?
