Tilting-Vehicle

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.

AKO Trike has revealed its second electric three-wheeler prototype, along with renders of how the finished model is expected to look. As well as leaning into the curves, the two-person reverse trike will roll for more than 300 km on a single charge.

It was just a couple of weeks ago that we heard about the Freebord 5-X, the latest in a series of skateboards that let users carve into corners, snowboard-style. Well, the Traqpod has now hit Kickstarter, offering its own unique take on the concept.

Yamaha’s Tritown personal mobility vehicle was far from the most eye-catching on the floor of the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show, but the company certainly has faith in the three-wheeler's practicality as it moves through a series of field tests with one eye on a developing production version.

While some people like the added stability offered by trikes as compared to bikes, the things can actually be tippier when cornering. The Italian-designed Tris Bike addresses that issue, with tilting front wheels that let it lean into turns. It's also got an electric-assist motor.

​If you work in the city but live outside, traveling by train or bus can be much less stressful than taking the car. But the distance from train station to your desk might still be quite a trek by foot. Pim Bicycles is adding another option for the last mile, with the fast-folding Mylo e-scooter.​

While no product should ever, EVER, be called a Qooder, this 4-wheeled tilting scoot from Swiss company Quadro looks the goods. With a 400cc version on sale in a matter of weeks, and a high powered electric version on the way, it seems the Piaggio MP3's legacy is in good hands.

​Electric three-wheeled scooters that tilt into turns occupy one of the more interesting spaces when it comes to futuristic vehicle design. Peugeot's new hybrid scooter is no exception, built to weave its way through urban centers and hum along at freeway speeds when the time is right.​

Three years ago, Toyota dipped its toes into electric personal mobility with a three-wheeled, tilting two-seater concept called the i-Road. The company has now added extra passenger space and another wheel for a low speed urban runabout it's calling the i-Tril Concept.

Flying car developer PAL-V is aiming to make good on its promise to be first to market. Following successful test flights and efforts to meet European and US road and aviation standards, the company has announced that its taking reservations for its dual-engined Liberty three-wheel gyrocopter.

West Virginian company ZEV has been quietly building high quality electric scooters for more than a decade now, including the fastest and longest range electric scoots in the world. Now, ZEV's ready to release a long range, tilting 3-wheeler based on the same platform.

The absurdly named Narrow Tilting Vehicle with Non-Tilting Wheels (or NTVNTW) is a narrow track reverse trike that promises an amazing cornering experience with 52 degrees of lean and three flat car tires giving a huge grippy contact patch and excellent stability.
