Functional testing of the pre-production prototype will be in December 2010 including a fully commissioned preliminary electrical system and all mechanical components to be integrated and tested.
January, the final electrical system will be commissioned and by the end of January we should be into performance testing of the pre-production vehicle.
Completion of the design for mass manufacture / serial production engineering will then be completed, at this time by March 2011.
We intend to then have a 30 day field trial which will be invitation only ... be nice to us, you might get one!
Product order reservations possible this year. We intend to release a small number of exclusive vehicles which will be pre-shelf availability. They will have some uniqueness and be a little more expensive than our final retail produced product. People who order these will probably have them 30-60 days before they hit the stores. We've had a huge number of requests, so we'll try to do something early for people who simply don't want to wait or who just want to have one first.
There is huge excitement in the company as we get closer.
We will share more as soon as we can.
Thanks for your continued support.
Cheers,
The Scarpar Team
