The 3R-C seats one driver in a near-vertical position, with the clear canopy covering the cockpit when the vehicle is parked but turning into a protective windshield when the vehicle is moving.

Honda 3R-C - radical three-wheeler

Honda says the vehicle includes a flexible cover that protects the occupant from poor weather and improves comfort.

Directional movements are controlled by a motorbike-style handlebar rather than a steering wheel, and momentum is generated by an electric motor that Honda says has been mounted low for greater stability.

The 3R-C, which was designed at Honda’s Research and Design facility in Italy, features a lockable luggage compartment ahead of the driver.

Honda has yet to release details regarding the 3R-C’s range or speed.
