Taking the Carver One out for a spin

A Trike With a Truly Unique Feel



According to the author of this article, driving the Carver One can be likened to a roller coaster. I don’t know about you, but I can’t decide if that makes me want to drive one, or makes me never want to get in one. Either way, the author goes on to say, “its compact design and fuel-efficiency makes the automobile great for a crowded, polluted urban driving environment without sacrificing comfort or control.” I suppose that helps the Carver One’s case.

This trike features a “Dynamic Vehicle Control” (DVC) system, which “uses electronic and hydraulic systems to bank the vehicle through turns making it very maneuverable in tight quarters.” It comes in a one and two passenger configuration, and is currently only for sale in Europe at around $44,000. Hopefully it’ll make it to stateside soon enough, though still no promises that I’d ever ride in one.
