The SOLO has a 16 kWh battery, 160 km (100 mile) range, a 130 km/h maximum speed and a 3-6 hour recharge time.

The Super SOLO, the second vehicle to be designed by Electra Meccanica, is a sport-car style 3-wheel, single-passenger electric vehicle.[7] It is estimated to cost over $100,000 CAD and Electra Meccanica is currently taking refundable reservations for this model. As of February 2018, there is no estimated date of completion available.
