yeah this may be a thing, why not!

not only that. we've kind of merged two physics - motorcycles and cars, and both of these are not connected. For cities at low speed you can simply steer (traffic), but on a bit higher speeds you simply tilt by counter-steering. We wan

The specs on the website are target and may change a bit. Latest tests (yesterday) showed that we're having extreme performance at 150kW already, so we may stick with that. I mean, it's only around 400kg in weight

haha, we'll definitely have to come up with mounts for boards outside, most of our teammates are kiteboarders

Flawlessly. The center of mass is low, so really no problems. The physics is on your side, that's the fun. Whenever you push the throttle, it will always want to keep you straight (not tilted). And I've just understood how difficu

that's actually not a bad idea

Wait until we introduce a snow-bike conversion kit (but don't tell anyone)

Yeah it's like a good premium motorcycle

oh it will have full doors, we shot the video when we did not have one for the prototype, haha. It's a good idea to thing about quick swapping of the batteries, thanks for that. Not sure if it is viable enough, looking from engineering

haha love this, thanks!

There will be options to choose from later on. Right now we kind of need to get a glance if the trike is really a product that people would choose. Right now it's default at 24kWh (+~2kWh for accesories) and the consumption is around 8

That's the cool thing about it. We've built it based on pure mechanical solutions, not hydraulics, not actuators (MB had a concept of F300 life-jet that would be the closest option). And to answer your question - we've tried

that's the fun part, there are not many options on the market that would be even close. We're positioning it more on the electric sportsbikes category due to it's tilting & performance. Latest calculations shows 3s for 0-

we're thinking of introducing several models, that would break down into three main costs: ECO - 12K EUR, PREMIUM - 24K EUR. Both of these will have few options to select from (like range, power, rims, etc)

We’re building a high performance electric trike from scratch(akotrike.com)

Hey guys, we are a team of five engineers and over the last 6 years we’ve been developing a high-performance electric three-wheeler. We’ve built two prototypes up to date. It’s a futuristic looking vehicle with a new kind of body tilting sy
