Elio Three Wheel Car

[36654]

So do motorcycles!

The Honda 3-wheelers (single front wheel and 2 aft) were unstable in turns. Reverse that pattern, like the Morgan, BRP Spider, Elio and Toyota concept (i-ROAD) and the vehicle is stable.

The surgeon was correct and Elio picked the proper configuration.

One wheel in front is unstable? Seems manageable...

Those first generation Honda 90's were very easy to flip, tumble, and hurt a lot of folks.
I got to ride them as a porter at the Honda shop and found out quickly on the demo

Ever see those Harley Trikes poke around the cloverleaf? No Robin Reliant pilots there.....................
