I have developed a low-cost, high-mileage single-passenger commuter vehicle for sale in North America. Based on a frame and chassis built by a renowned auto maker, this vehicle provides highway speeds (to 65 MPH), outstanding fuel economy (65-85 MPG) and complete safety for the driver. The vehicle includes a full roll-cage around the passenger compartment (laterally and vertically) protecting from side and frontal impact. All in a clean elegant compact craft priced less than (financed) $30 USD/week!  Power is provided by conventional engines of less than 300 cc. 

My company, Pacific Rim Design Center in Hilo, Hawaii, is currently seeking financing to produce the vehicle (named: "Pocket Rocket") in the USA - with subesquent distribution into Canada, Europe and Japan. Two models have been developed based on engine displacement. The larger 250cc model will have a curb weight of 485 lb (220 kg) and the smaller 80cc one will weigh 220 lb (100kg). While insignificant by American car standards, these engines provide more than adaquate power because the vehicle weighes LESS THAN 10 PERCENT OF A TYPICAL CAR. The "Pocket Rocket" chassis is produced by an OEM with distribution, sales and support (incl. maintenance) facilities in place world-wide.

Typical purchasers for Pacific Rim's "Pocket Rocket" include students, businessmen, commuters and anyone seeking a low-cost solution to get around town - or to the next town. Financed (at 7% over 48 months) payments range from $15 to $27 USD per week - well within the reach of most consumers. Later models will include a 50 cc motorized bicyle and a 650 cc Sport motorcycle - both with the same seat, body and styling. The Sports Motorcycle model provides 100 MPH speeds - for those who desire it - while the 50 cc model (as a motorized bicycle or moped) yields effective cross-town transport for pennies a day. 

What will it look like? Imagine the most streamlined convertible car you have ever seen. Then imagine the entire width of this vehicle less than 30" wide . . . with a cockpit straight out of a fighter aircraft - with handling to match.

Via Pacific Rim Design Center, the investor has the opportunity to capitalize a firm providing significant near-term earnings in domestic transportation. And at the same time initiate a product line for export sales to Europe, Canada and Asia. Timing? With most of the major components for the vehicle already in production, the completed "Pocket Rocket" can be produced and ready to market in North America within 10 months from date of funding.
