Estonia may not be known as a car producing country
but that hasn’t stopped Roman Muljar, the founder and chief executive of Nobe,
from creating this; the electric Nobe 100. The tiny car has an impossibly cute
and retro design and is the subject of a crowdfunding campaign looking to raise US$ 1.2 million.
The small automaker claims that Nobe 100 has a
combined range of 220 km and tops out at 110 km/h. The
company hasn’t said how many electric motors the 100 has, nor how powerful they
are, but we do know that the three-wheeler has all-wheel drive and can be
recharged in a respectable two hours.
The design of the Nobe 100 combines a plethora of
retro design cues, including chrome door handles, circular headlights, a chrome
grille, and chrome hub caps. The car even has tires with white walls. Inside,
the theme continues wth a large, thinly-spoked steering wheel, a minimalist
dashboard and two circular dials making up the gauge cluster. Nobe says the 100
offers interior space for three passengers and luggage.
Impressively, Nobe has built the 100 from purely
reusable parts and intends on offering a series of easy-to-install upgrades to
ensure each car delivered remains on the road for as long as possible. As if
this wasn’t enough to get you excited, perhaps the fact that it features a
removable hard top will.
As mentioned, the car will only be produced if the
crowdfunding campaign on Funded By Me hits US$ 1.2 million. At the time of
writing, the project had been 38 per cent funded with 40 days left to invest.
