Three wheelers may not be your preferred choice when it comes to urban transportation, but take a look at this dynamic product from a Japanese design firm called D’Art and you might just want to change your preferences. Congested roads are a challenge for owners of four wheelers. A three wheeler can be much more easy to maneuver through the busy roads . Japanese companies have introduced quite a few three wheelers for micro mobility and have been running successfully on the busy roads. These small mobility devices will soon take the roads by storm with their efficiency and manageability and could just become the preferred choice of busy commuters who do not want to be stuck in traffic jams.
Known as ‘Style’, this exciting three wheeler operates completely on electricity and can run for around twenty kilometers at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour with a single session of charging. For further operation, Style has to be charged again. This is a great method of transportation for short distances. However, electricity could be a big concern and hence, it may not be a great option for economical commuting.
Style weighs around 30 kilograms and comes for $6500. It has a two wheeled front and a single wheel at the back and resembles a tricycle which is reversed, giving a single wheel at the back and double wheels in the front. It comes with a single seat like that of a bicycle and hence, best suited for lone travelers.
The company D’ Art is not new to such concepts. A few years back, another three wheeler was introduced by D’Art as a limited edition series, named Hagane. The tilting three wheeler, Hagane had a two wheeled front, which was fitted on a Yamaha scooter. It was a proprietary design from D’Art.
