Tilting electric three-wheelers may be fun and agile, but they’re generally still not as safe to drive as good ol’ four-wheeled cars. The Kairos EV could change that, as it features not one but two unique safety systems.

    Only 3 wheel setup I’d even consider is a reverse trike/tadpole design (on a recumbent bike, not a motorcycle), but all my rides so far have either 2 or 4 wheels.

      And from how you describe it you probably have a decent understanding of the dangers involved with the trike… My issue is with many of these companies playing a numbers game of “2% safer therefore it’s safe” numbers game. While yes, a reverse trike is able to accept a bit more sideways force, ultimately the single wheel remains the tip point with the peak force in the middle… or you know… where you sit… so regardless of the configuration a tip means a bad time.

      Everyone is welcome to ride / drive what they like but the marketing should be transparent - and education should be required.
