Urbee has just returned from Europe, and is now safely back in our shop on Erin Street.

Work continues on the car.


This winter we plan to drive Urbee during one of our worst Winnipeg snow storms, ... to demonstrate that Urbee can also be a great winter car!

Stay tuned. There's much more to come from Urbee in 2012.

This project continues to attract some of the best talent in the world, as we prepare to design and build a second vehicle :
