The Oddest Trike You’ll See All Day

The Speed Studio Trik-E is an electrically assisted tricycle concept that could truly revolutionize local transportation. With its enclosed cab for protection from the elements, three wheels for added stability, electric motor to assist the rider, and additional storage space, the fact that it looks like an insect is easily excusable.

The article describes the Trik-E as –

“An electric-assist HPV. It’s designed to go anywhere a bicycle can go, while providing weather protection and light cargo storage. With a top speed of 20mph and a 750w electric motor, TrikE is legally classified as a bicycle. No driver’s license is required, and parking is easy. The 36v lithium battery pack costs pennies to recharge.”

The article also has a picture of some early concept sketches, so you can see how the trike evolved into its funny looking self.
