Details are sparse for the three-wheeled design, which looks something like a hybrid of the Can-Am Spyder and BMW C1 scooter.

That is pretty funky looking, especially the way you sit inside it instead of on it.

Kind of cool.... I like how the windshield becomes a canopy to enclose the cockpit while parked.

Pretty neat! Might just be all the bodywork uo high, but the wheel base looks a little short to be very stable. If it makes it to production, Im sure it will be TOTALLY different. Very few concepts make it to production without major changes. Just the nature of the beasts.

Interesting. I like Honda stuff - would like them to come out with something a little sinister looking though. That looks more like a little scooter.

Don't wait for this, it's just a concept I have seen it before and we all know it will never come to market. Don't know why waist the money and time making these awesome looking machine that never go into production spend the money and time and produce a realistic model that can be made for sale.

They're just raising it up the flag pole to see who salutes it.
But supposedly BMW took a wheel off of a 4 wheeler that's legal in Europe and bringing it here as a reverse trike, Late this year or early next year.

No easy escape route during any "oh shyt" situations. Unless an ejection seat is available.

It would be interesting to see some more options in the reverse trike type that is ridden not driven. I really like that the Spyder experience is out in the open.

I wondered that too-- but maybe the front wheels articulate like those Carver's do? Considering it's electric and small, I think it's really aimed at the scooter market... not that they'll ever really make these.

I was intrigued, but my daughter walked by and said, "It's ugly. It's so ugly."

(Oh well. Seeing as how the Spyder had to get her approval before it came to live in our garage, I guess I won't be trading it in on a 3R-C...)
