3R-C Concept
Honda
3R-C is a fully single-seat three-wheeler
powered by a lithium ion battery, created by Honda's Milan studio. It
will debut at Geneva International Motor Show 2010.
The
3R-C has a clear canopy that covers the driver's seat while it is parked and
not in use. When 3R-C vehicle is in motion, the canopy becomes an enveloping
wind-shield that provides the pilot, who sits low in the vehicle, with
significant protection from the bodywork and doors.
The
high sides of the safety shell seat give greater safety to the occupant,
reducing the threat from side impacts and improving weather protection. In
front of the driver is a lockable boot area, which gives significant secure
storage for luggage or other items. The 3R-C's designers created a flexible
cover that surrounds the upper torso to reduce exposure to bad weather and
improving comfort.
