A Trike First for Chevy

chev_01

The latest in the intermediate car/moto crossover category is this bad boy. It’s called Knight and would be the first of its type from Chevy. It differs from other models in that it sports a hollow body space that reduces the orthographic projection area. Simply put, it hugs the road… hard.

As a motorcyclist, these 2×1 moto-trike options are hard for me to get behind. It’s like all the downsides of a motorcycle and car rolled up into one: exposure to the elements, dangerous, inability to circumnavigate traffic and so on. Still, if it came to running one on salt flats in an effort to reach top speed, I might be more inclined to ride one of these than its two wheeled counterpart just for the stability.
