Honda's Eco-Friendly Trike of the Future

2WheelGuy · February 24th, 2010, 09:48 AM

The annual Geneva Motor Show has had an early entry ahead of next week, with Honda's battery-powered 3R-C concept trike looking very fast and ever so protective of the dry head inside.

The minimal, space-age three-wheeler has a low electric drivetrain to improve stability, and high sides for greater safety. Added to that, the lockable boot at the front will protect the millions of dollars worth of jewels you've just stolen in the high-speed jewelery heist (I'm just elaborating on the fantasy of owning one).

It'll probably never come to fruition, like a lot of Honda's great concepts, but this DIY Honda Innova motorcycle is scarily close. Well, if you squint your eyes and look at it upside down, anyway.

I hope it stands up or else the driver can't see where they are going (no; and HUD w/ an OSD view isn't going to cut it).

It is very futuristic looking.
The only thing I don't like is the bubble. I think that bikes and trikes should be open to the air.
