The Clever Concept Vehicle

The car features a single front wheel and two rear wheels that sit either side of a 650cc motorcycle engine. To provide stability the body of the car tilts when cornering just like a motorbike, this provides extra safety and quite possible a lot of fun when driving.

The aim of the design is tackle big city congestion and smog by providing an extremely light and environmentally friendly single person vehicle.

The designers are hoping that the car that only uses 2.6 Litre per 100 kilometres will one day go into production within the next 5 years with an expected purchase price of around $12000.
