Honda 3-wheel EV concept: 3R-C

[michaelplogue]

Looks a bit top-heavy, but the front wheels are definitely wide enough. I like the fact that you've got good visibility, and the 'cabin' can be closed when not in use to protect it from the elements. It's kinda growing on me......

That second photo looks like a laid-back R2DT

Oh yea "star wars" for sure. I like it.

That is the epitome of futureistic. I cant imagine this ever being useful though...

Perhaps not useful everywhere, but...in Japan there is a class of car called a "Kei" car. It is limited in size and displacement (660cc's). Its a city car, so, not allowed on the highways. I magine the Smart-Fortwo, but with a smaller engine.

Much more attractive than the BugE.

Unfortunately it will need to be registered and regulated like most road vehicles. In being so, it immediately loses most of its appeal to me, no matter how sexy it looks.

One of the benefeits of trikes, is that in most places it can be registered as a motorcycle.

I'd much rather have that than the Can-am bombardier thing..

Hopefully, that canopy locks closed. Totally sux to have a nasty milkshake dumped on yer seat/saddle.

What happens when it pisses down rain? Do you take a bath in the cabin?

It needs an umbrella.
