Velorian recumbent trike folds for easy storage and transportation

​

Created by Lithuanian designer Mantas Palaima, the “Velorian” is a recumbent trike for urban environment that folds for easy storage and transportation. Featuring split handlebar and track rods to present easy controls even for beginners, the folding trike allows front wheel driving and back wheels steering to make it highly maneuverable. Made in carbon fiber and aluminum, the trike runs on the wheels (rear) with 10 degrees of camber to increase stability in the corners, while the seat is designed to damp the shock impulse. The recumbent trike is as compact as it folds down to 1210 x 530 x 755mm from a standard trike. All the user need to do is unlock pivot, bend fork between two rear wheels and fold out seat on the top of front frame to lock it up. In addition, the Velorian includes a bag for easy transportation.

Looks like a concept not a real vehicle. Rear wheel drive is tricky to make work.

I know. I have one. Any turn past 16mph is very dangerous.

 

If anyone would know, Bill would know since he knows how to DESIGN bikes!!!!
