Steve Fambro was sick of people whizzing past him in the carpool lane, so he decided to do something about it. He set out to design a three-wheeled vehicle — technically a motorcycle — that would make it legal for him to drive alone in that lane and be cozy enough for daily commuting. With an infusion of $20 million from Idealab, Bill Gross’s business incubator, Fambro’s company, Aptera, is scheduled to begin production of the $30,000 electric hybrid later this year.
