Yamaha Tricera – Yet another impressive concept

The Yamaha Tricera is a model that sits between a motorcycle and a car. It is viewed as an autocycle in some areas. However, it bears a closer semblance of a car than a motorcycle.

The Tricera comes with a unique design that, according to Yamaha, sets it apart from both motorcycles and cars. The delta trike design of the Tricera incorporates two front wheels and a single rear wheel. The Yamaha Tricera has a three-wheeled steering. A rack and pinion steering in the front is supported by the rear wheel pivot for greater maneuverability.

The design of the Yamaha Tricera has an open-top structure that omits doors. Seat bolsters are used instead to secure the rider. The Tricera features both automatic and manual steering modes for the rear wheel. The manual modes, according to Yamaha, give a sense of accomplishment for riders still learning the ropes.
