That leaning ability comes to Arcimoto by way of Tilting Motorworks, a company that Arcimoto aquired last year to incorporate its leaning engineering into Arcimoto’s three-wheeled electric vehicles. You have an enormous amount of stability at high speed and low speed. The feeling of riding it, it’s very natural just like a bicycle. Unlike rigid trikes that have an uncanny ability to toss the rider off of the vehicle during sharp turns, the leaning nature of the MLM retains the intuitive cornering feeling of a typical bicycle. The first major takeaway from Cruces’s showcase is, of course, that the vehicle is a leaning trike. The new vehicle’s novel design was said to offer many advantages that alternatives simply can’t offer. Upon its unveiling last week, the MLM was pitched as a major improvement to typical micromobility vehicles like e-bikes and e-scooters. The unveiling left us with plenty of questions about the radical new electric three-wheeler, and Arcimoto has delivered again in the form of a video overview with designer Leo Cruces. Do you think it could be adopted by one of the motorcycle manufactures in India for mass productions? Convey your thoughts to us via comments.Arcimoto recently unveiled a fascinating new electric bicycle-like vehicle known as the Mean Lean Machine, or MLM for short. While we appreciate the industriousness and the innovative spirit of the Chitties, may we request that they replace this video with one where they are wearing a proper helmet before setting it in motion?ĭo let us know what you think of this new concept. Here’s a video of the trike in action, piloted by its inventors. The Applications of the Anvitha can be as a sporty, recreational vehicle, as an option for the differently-abled people and as a safer low-cost commuting tool. Naturally, more rubber touching the tarmac, an extra wheel and a wide track all add up to lend Anvitha more stability and composure than a two-wheeler at a marginally extra price. Lateral force generated during turns is minimized due to the addition of two wheels at front. The system also enhances the traction of the wheels during turns. The leaning property makes for better maneuverability and stability than the non-tilting vehicles. On the move, the tilting/leaning mechanism helps the rider lean the vehicle during cornering and allows for some fun-filled cornering. Some changes have been made to the brake and gear shift levers to ensure an ergonomically convenient riding posture. Hopefully, with some more funds coming in the Anvitha would manage to look better. Designed as a people mover than a sporty concept, the Anvitha has a comfortable, upright riding position. For now, the motorcycle isn’t a very good exponent of the theme. The triad of the students behind the Anvitha tried to theme the motorcycle as a café racer. Rear braking is taken care of through a pedal operated from the right foot. The front drum brakes are operated from the right hand lever provided on the vehicle’s steering handle. At the rear, the Anvitha gets a simple twin spring-damper suspension arrangement.īraking duties are taken care of by drum units both at the front and at the rear. This is an independent-type suspension system which allows for a smoother handling and good absorption of undulations along with competent handling. Up front, suspension duties are taken care of by a double wishbone type suspension with A-shaped control arms providing linkages between the chassis and the wheels. A Butterfly type direct mechanism comprises of the steering system. The engine is held in place by a double cradle with single spine and single down tube. The Anvitha employs a custom made, half-duplex cradle type chassis. Since the Anvitha is more of an experiment, and made on a tight budget, a basic 2 stroke single cylinder 98cc engine with peak output of 7. rpm is employed to set the wheels in motion.
Hopefully tilting electric trike movie#
The students behind the project, Krishan Kumar, Praveen Sharma and Shailesh Upadhyay prefer calling themselves Chitties, probably taking inspiration from the android the lead character in the south Indian movie ’Robot’ built.Īnvitha is built on the TVS Maxx 100 motorcycle, with suitable alterations having been made onto the chassis. Three students from IET engineering college Alwar’s Department of Mechanical Engineering have given shape to this leaning reverse trike – the first of its kind in India. It is, however one of the most unique India-built automobiles you would ever come across. What you see here may not be a very refined exponent of automotive engineering.
