Abstract :
The paper presents the design and the development of an electric tilting three-wheel vehicle. It shows the possibilities offered by the integration of novel mechanical and electrical technologies in the arrangement of a vehicle for a sustainable urban mobility. The vehicle retains the performance of a light internal-combustion vehicle with two or four wheels (acceleration, maximum speed, range) while exhibiting zero road emissions and superior maneuverability and stability.
