Auto Blog: EV/Plug-in , Green Culture , Hybrid , Green Daily , NEV (Neighborhood Electric Vehicle) Click above for a high-res gallery of the Hy Tric trike We got a tip recently about Hy Tric Motors , a company based in Ventura, California that offers electric vehicles and electric retro fit kits. The company seems to focus mostly on low-speed electric vehicles, but the Hy Tric Electro Cycle seen above has a top speed of 125 mpg. It costs $23,999, but there are virtually no other details available. In fact, the entire website is not set up to provide a whole lot of information about the cars. We can see pictures of the 2009 AFS Hy Tric 4 Seater (the green vehicle in the gallery below) that starts at $10,900 and the 2009 AFS Hy Tric EVCapus, a work truck for $13,900, but not much more about them. The only car that Hy Tric offers any real details on is the 2009 AFS Hy Tric Electro XRb-series , an EV that costs $9,999 and can go 60-90 miles on a full charge of its lead acid batteries (eight 12V/120AH packs). A 4 kW motor offers a top speed of 37 mph (can be limited to 25 mph to fall into the NEV category). Hy Tric also offers a series of conversion kits ranging from $2,500 (48 volt kit) to $5,000 (144 volts) to add onto your own vehicle. The site also lists a “2009 AFS Hy Tric LG1 Euro racer Model” that looks an awful lot like (ok, exactly like) the Triac electric car . Not sure what’s going on there.
