IF and only IF they make them cost wise so an upper Middle class person could even think they could buy one will they pull their butts out of the fire. But how many trikes can I build for $65,000?
For $65K, I could build about 5 of Roger's EXO-ECO's, sell 4 and then make 6 more.
Heck, If I had $65K, I could make those 5 Eco-Exo's, give one on loan to three members on here to ride to car shows with BANNERS . One to James in Florida, one to TomyJ in California, maybe one to someone like Liteway in Oklahoma and mine up here in the Northwest. Hit all the shows with Advertisement banners. But always keep one kit on hand for immediate delivery if someone demands one NOW.
You ride the trikes free, for the use of advertisement but you must make so many car/bike shows or the offer is retracted.

I like the way you are thinking...was thinking of doing something along that line with my REV3 but....donor bike must be supplied by the prospective "advertizer". That way everyone has a little skin in the game.
whatcha think?

The Campagna T-Rex has been a great inspiration for people to take interest in reverse trikes for two decades. They set the bar on the exotic and expensive R. T. that remained beyond the reach of the average consumer. But there demise more than once appears to be there lack of change. They inspired me to build a replica for 1/6 the price and many other replica builders around the world. If they could follow in the footsteps of Can-Am's Ryker and supplement their product line with a entry level R. T. they might be able to remain in business this time. Perhaps an open frame R. T. with 600 to 900cc, seating for two, and a CVT automatic priced under $15000 would generate buyers considering Can-Am, Polaris, and some of us DIY's. Good luck Campagna Motors 🤞

Its like in 1989 I had the choice of spending $20,000 for a 2 year old Corvette or $3,800 for a two year old Shelby GLHS (Charger body) needing painted. The cars were about the same top speed, 140 MPH, both ran mid 14 second quarter mile, the Vette was a bit faster in the skid pad. But $2000 invested to that Shelby's suspension and tires bumped it up much fasted than the Vette and I could haul a 6 foot step ladder if needed. The Shelby also got 32 MPG if I dialed the turbo down and stayed in 5th gear as much as I could. A $500 ColorMaster paint job worked for me. So I was out about $7500 for all. With 275 Horsepower and 2800 pounds it would do 155 MPH, pulled 0.96G, ran 12.80 to 13.20 quarter mile and 0-60 MPH in just under 6 seconds because of limited FWD traction. But 35 MPH to 125 MPH was stellar. Slow by todays standards but killer in 1990.
Cost over function. Like Joe said, Campagna does need a entry level trike. The CVT 3 cylinder CanAm Ryker Rotec 900cc would be a good pick.
