BugE  The BugE is a one-passenger, three-wheeled battery electric vehicle designed by Mark Murphy of Blue Sky Design in 2007. It can reach up to 40 mph in standard form, and can run for 30 miles on a full charge. The BugE is licensed as a motorcycle and can run on all major streets in the United States of America. A fully completed BugE vehicle is as of May 2015 is listed at $5,732.30 USD. The BugE is a motorcycle like vehicle that is created by Blue Sky Design LLC. Blue Sky had designed a previous vehicle called the Gizmo. The Gizmo was a more costly vehicle, with over 17 major components. The 2005 models of the Gizmo were priced at $12,000. Through a series of collaborations of many small business mainly based in the Pacific Northwest, the idea for a smaller and more cost effective vehicle was designed. The man credited with the main concept design of an “almost-fully-faired three-wheeler” is named Mark Murphy, of Creswell, Oregon, who is also the owner of Blue Sky Design LLC. Murphy is known for being a “designer on concept projects for companies such as GM, Chrysler and BMW.”  “His design criteria [for the BugE] was for ‘a simple, low cost personal mobility vehicle." On February 5, 2007 the BugE had its first run. It drove out of a garage and down a flat suburb street. The run was captured and put on YouTube by one of the creators. Not even a month later the BugE was certified as a street legal motorcycle. The BugE has handlebar steering, a bucket seat, uni-shock suspension, a parking brake, low-drag tires, drum brakes and three mag wheels. A rounded fairing reaches up and over the driver for the full length of the vehicle and reduces the vehicles aerodynamic drag. The fairing can pushed up and tilted forward to allow a driver to enter the vehicle. Attached to the fairing and acting as a sort of windshield is a clear canopy made of optically blown acrylic. Behind the fairing and canopy is an optional removable rear canopy. All vehicle controls are operated by the handlebars, including the throttle and brakes. The battery compartment holds a 48 volt battery and is located underneath the vehicle. The BugE has one cargo compartment located in the front of the vehicle between the two front tires. The cargo compartment is designed to hold two large or four small bags of groceries and can carry up to 25 pounds of cargo.
