This Wild Tilting E-Trike Could Be The Most Fun On Three Wheels

“It’s a thrill to unveil the Mean Lean Machine, a radically new high-performance e-bike with three-wheeled stability and an awesome ride,” said Bob Mighell, Arcimoto Chief Tilting Officer and three-wheel tilting technology pioneer. “With the MLM, you’ll be able to corner the same way you would on a regular bike with greater traction, more stability and better braking ability. We can’t wait for you to ride it.”

Arcimoto hasn’t yet revealed too much in the way of specifications and has only revealed a working prototype and the final design at this stage. What we do know is that the MLM is fitted with a three-wheel drive system, which means an electric motor powers each of the three wheels. It incorporates a pedal generator for speed control and stationary recharge to help extend mileage when out and about. Speaking of range, Arcimoto doesn’t specify exactly what it is targeting for the regular model, but it does say that when fitted with auxiliary batteries, 200+ miles is on the cards.

Arcimoto is targeting a launch in Q4 2022 and is taking reservations now with a $100 fully refundable pre-order. Expect more details about specifications closer to launch.
