Three-Wheeler

Recently the Messerschmitt Kabinenroller has been riding pavement again, albeit as a velomobile. Now, Messerschmitt Werk has revived the classic KR microcar, launching both gas and electric variants of an ultralight three-wheel roadster.

The latest machinations from EV-maker Daymak indicate it isn't about to start thinking inside the box anytime soon, launching a crowdfunding campaign for a three-wheeled electric car it says will become the fastest on the planet.

Many people like the idea of commuting by motorcycle, but are put off by the thought of being so open to the elements. The three-wheeled, fully-enclosed, tilting Nimbus EV was designed with just such folks in mind.

For people who mainly make short trips around town, a full-on electric car may be more than they need, while an ebike isn't enough. It was with such folks in mind that the three-wheeled, fully-enclosed LEF electric vehicle was created.

Polaris has announced the 2021 model Slingshot autocycle. The Slingshot is half-motorcycle, half-car with two wheels in front and one in the rear. Propelled by a four-cylinder engine, the 2021 Slingshot now has a shiftable automatic transmission too.

With three square meters of solar panel on the roof, and a body so ludicrously efficient that it can squeeze up to four times as much range out of a kilowatt-hour as other EVs, the new Aptera becomes the first EV you can drive daily and never charge.

Until now, the various flavors of Arcimoto's FUV have sat somewhere between a Polaris Slingshot and a Can-Am Spyder, but with all-electric drive and a roof. Now the company has blown off the roof for a fully open-air reverse trike named the Roadster.

Take one visibly unstable three-wheeler from the 1970s, and give it five times the horsepower and 200+ km/h (124+ mph) top speeds thanks to a screaming superbike motor ... This truly frightening, roided-out Bond Bug has just gone up for auction.

Last year, mobility company Arcimoto unveiled a new version of its electric three-wheeler aimed at small businesses. Currently up for pre-order, the company is making the Deliverator available for rent through the HyreCar platform.

The Polaris Slingshot is half car, half motorcycle with a sort of Batmobile-esque design. Sporting a completely new motor and auto transmission for 2020, it's likely the most fun you can have without resorting to a straight up two-wheeler.

Last year, Arcimoto launched a new version of its three-wheeled electric trike aimed at local and last mile delivery businesses called the Deliverator. Now the company has teamed up with Carry It Forward to field test the vehicle in Eugene, Oregon.

Last year, Arcimoto revealed a special version of its battery-electric three-wheeler designed for first responders. The company inked an agreement with the Eugene Springfield Fire Department to test the vehicles, and now that pilot program has begun.
