Electric trike




This is an old rendering of the trike with rider. The idea here is to have a three wheeled recreational vehicle that sits like a race car and corners like a motorcycle. In this rendering there are three electric motors controlling each wheel. The two front motors are hub motors eliminating any need for a front axle or differential. The rear motor is actually two LMC motors in tandem driving the rear wheel by chain.

As I continue to work out the mechanicals I will post updates on the development of the trike. This is by no means what the exterior will look like, it is simply a quick shell we are using while we develop the rest of the vehicle. If you have any concept sketches on what you think the trike should look like post them in the comments.
