3 Wheelers

[ehnriko]

The silver car has a VW engine. With a Beetle transmission.
Ehnriko, I'm sure you can design a better looking body for this three-wheeler.

Thanks Don, I stand corrected. The same layout with Porsche 914's but instead of a mid engine layout - it's all placed in front. The front wheel drive actually has better dynamics for a Reverse trike. You can check out the creeper... just a front wheel drive car cut in half and with single wheel at the rear with stiff suspension. Since the front has softer suspension, the rear part can do without.

GH is correct. It's not realistic. But all car designs begin with a 2D concept drawing.

Don is right, it starts with a ballpoint pen, some coffee... and a few Tissue papers. :-) - but sometimes, you an skip using materials from cut trees - so you can go directly on the electronic rendering software... provided you can keep the time allocated doing it to less than 3 hours... then it's a green habit.

Sorry if I must have clicked the wrong button... at any rate - clearly there is a misunderstanding here.

At any rate, I have no right nor does anybody have the right to edit anyones posting.

I will have to repost what I have posted earlier today...

I would prefer to get the Suzuki based mini-truck instead of this.

I don't think it would even be legal to use on the expressways.

The above images is simply an evolution of the Cab over Trike configuration which was first utilized by Morgan and Robins for their production model vehicles in England.

However, those trikes had longer noses than their Chinese counterparts - ... relatively speaking - pertaining to the cars.

At any rate, it can be considered a glorified tuktuk or autotaxi.

Reminds me of those taxis elsewhere around southeast Asia.

I rather see local fabricators of tricycle cab/tricycle/motorcycle manufacturers copy these Chinese made tricars, instead of this (see Below) hedious contraption.

^^^ same here but the difference in cost would be like day and night, hence it won't happen anytime soon. Maybe a basic tuktuk style vehicle is possible if the parts are available.
