Yahoo Autos Yamaha Tricera 3-wheeler EV revealed at Tokyo Motor Show, with trick all-wheel steering
This is the Yamaha Tricera, and it’s an electric three-wheeled, open-top vehicle that Yamaha just revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show. The idea behind it is to make an urban mobility vehicle that’s also rather fun and exciting to drive.
The three-wheeled market for a vehicle like this is largely dominated by the Polaris Slingshot here in the U.S., but this Yamaha being electric could be an interesting alternative if it’s ultimately sold stateside. The Tricera’s trick feature is its rear-wheel steering. While the front wheels turn like you’d normally expect, the single rear wheel can also turn, thereby tightening your turning circle or lending greater stability at higher speeds.
