Three-wheeled vehicles are known for their unique driving experience, increased fuel efficiency, higher maneuverability, and lower costs. In today’s video, we’ll be checking out some of the coolest 3-wheeled electric vehicles money can buy. From long-range cruisers to agile city commuters, these green machines are sure to turn heads and revolutionize the way you think about transportation. I hope you enjoy the video!
00:00 – Intro
00:25 Arcimoto FUV Evergreen
In 2007, the people at Arcimoto set out to build the world’s most affordable and efficient everyday electric vehicle that also happened to be insanely fun to drive. The FUV Evergreen Edition is the realization of that vision. With the FUV, you save money on gas, and time on parking, and your daily commute is transformed into a pure electric joyride.
01:38 Vanderhall Edison
Vanderhall’s Edison is a tribute to an early 1900s electric vehicle collaboration between Thomas Edison and Henry Ford that never progressed beyond the prototype stage. The Edison is the quickest Vanderhall ever produced, with its two AC induction motors capable of reaching 0 – 60 mph in just 4 seconds and a top speed of around 105 mph.
02:44 Daymak Spiritus
Seemingly a mix between a car and a motorcycle, the Spiritus is not only the world’s fastest three-wheeled EV but also the first to mine cryptocurrencies when not being driven. The vehicle has a combination of sci-fi looks, sports car driving, and enough EV technology to make it one worth looking forward to.
04:15 Can-Am Ryker
Can-Am Ryker is a three-wheeled motorcycle produced by Bombardier Recreational Products, a Canadian company. It’s mainly available in two models, the Ryker and the Ryker Rally Edition, which is a more performance-oriented version. Both models feature a liquid-cooled, in-line triple engine and a continuously variable transmission with a high-performance belt drive that allows for smooth and efficient power delivery.
05:39 Aptera Gamma
Unlike any other vehicle on this list, the Gamma is Aptera Motors’ Never Charge solar electric vehicle, and as you can probably tell, it requires no charging and has a range of up to 1,000 miles. This technology is built into each Aptera and is intended to harvest enough sunlight to travel more than 11,000 miles per year in most parts of the world. This futuristic vehicle is constructed out of lightweight composites that are many times stronger than steel, allowing its unique body shape to glide through the air with a drag coefficient of 0.13.
07:02 Nimbus One
Safety and weather are two of the most frequently cited reasons for car commuters avoiding smaller vehicles such as bikes, scooters, and motorcycles. However, the Nimbus One, with its fully enclosed design and car-like safety features, attempts to address both of these issues at the same time. The Nimbus One has a tadpole tricycle design, with two wheels in front and one in back, and it can also automatically lean into corners based on the sharpness of the turn, thanks to Nimbus’ proprietary tilting technology.
08:22 Truck Speedster
Currently, in its functioning prototype stage, This three-wheeled electric vehicle was designed by German mobility company ZF. The Truck Speedster features a 4-kilowatt rear hub motor without any pedals making it reach top speeds of 28mph. Like most tilting trikes, the Truck speedster’s two front wheels tilt into corners, keeping the vehicle from tipping over and keeping its dual LED headlights horizontally leveled throughout the process.
