The exterior and interior of our Spira auto are primarily composed of foam for pedestrian and passenger protection. SOFT, SAFE, STYLISH is Spira’s motto. Car design has focused on passenger safety while neglecting pedestrians, motorcyclists, and bicyclists. Pedestrian, bicycle, and motorcycle accidents and fatalities need more consideration. Some studies show that about one-half the auto accident fatalities are pedestrians in urban areas and developing countries. This is typical for the 3 Billion people in Asia. Many motorcycles in Asia are used for work and some have a side car attached to them for carrying people, children, and supplies. The foam Spira is designed to increase safety for the pedestrian, bicyclist, motorcyclist, and the passenger. We now have limited production of SOLAR SAFER motorcycles with shoulder/seat belts.

Spira’s patent pending technology can revolutionize the way vehicles are designed and produced. Spira uses reinforcing fibers and plastic to provide a strong a protective cage covered with soft foam on both the outside and inside. Foam can replace steel in cars for a more cushioned impact just as foam has replaced leather soles on most shoes and sandals. Foam bumpers and protection on the outside of autos is needed because over half of vehicle deaths in large cities and developing countries are pedestrians and motorcyclists. Spira is a low cost, simple 3 wheel configuration that achieves about 100 mpg with a motorcycle power plant. Spira is designed to use interchangeable off the shelf reliable motorcycle power plants and parts in initial production. This sleek utilitarian vehicle is a great choice for any commuter along with being a safe alternative for a motorcycle with all-weather protection. Its patent pending technology can make any vehicle safer, more efficient and have less environmental impact. It is hard to believe the first 10 feet long x 5 feet wide x 52 inches tall Spira which seats two weighed only 302 pounds.

Spira is seeking global/ local suppliers, dealers and manufacturers to share in our dream of producing efficient, light, safe, vehicles. Spira first started production in China due to the wide availability of motorcycle parts. Our business plan is to also license production worldwide to get high local content and to speed market access. The pointed front decreases air resistance and makes for a small target. In a crash it is best to deflect and roll as in Judo. The design choices were to fit a safe yet efficient shape around the people and mechanics. Styling came secondary to achieve a sleek efficient shape while using light weight, flexible, energy adsorbing, materials. Thought was given to what will happen to the components in a crash. The millions of air bags in foam offer crash protection and light weight. Some foams are very strong and now are used to replace metal and plastics. 40 years ago who would think that nearly every one would have foam shoes. First came flip flops and then came Crocs.
