Andrew 30 Report post Posted May 10, 2009 According to a report by iMotor, BMW’s Project i program could spawn two, three and four-wheeled vehicles that will be fun to drive as well as eco-friendly. BMW and Bath University have developed a three-wheeler concept called the Clever Concept. The Clever Concept runs on compressed natural gas and can go up to 60 mph. A spokesman at BMW said that BMW as a number of options under consideration for its Project i program and “one the of proposals is something like the Clever Concept.†“This would deliver the thrills of a motorcycle but, being a three wheeler, you wouldn’t have to wear a helmet to drive one,†he told iMotor. The spokesman said that BMW continues to test the viability of its Mini E to make sure that it is “truly viable†and something that the customer would consider buying. He said that it could take at least 5 years until BMW has a production Project i car on the road. BMW Clever Concept: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 35 Report post Posted May 10, 2009 Tilting 3-wheeler. Hardly a new concept. Many prototypes and a couple of production versions built by various companies over the years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted May 10, 2009 True, hardly ground breaking. There is a crazy Dutch company (Vanderbrink?) that build them. They are imported into NZ and are very expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
