The Gwangyang inverted three-wheeled motorcycle CV3, which has been unveiled many times at the Milan Auto Show, Tokyo Auto Show, and domestic motorcycle expos, finally shows signs of turning from a concept car into a mass-produced vehicle. Detailed drawings of the model appeared in the recent vehicle model declarations from the Taiwan Patent Office. What is gratifying is that CV3 basically restores the appearance of the previous C Series Concept. In terms of appearance, it does not deviate too much from the show car. It is full of science fiction, sports, and crossover elements, and it can easily attract the attention of car enthusiasts. look.
However, some changes have been made in the details. The most obvious one is the exhaust part. Perhaps the concept car hides the exhaust tail section in the body in order to better display the rocker arm and transmission structure. Below, the latest design drawing shows that the exhaust position is the same as that of the AK550 on the same platform, placed on the right side of the body, and the wheel hub style has also been adjusted. Another highlight of the concept car, the rain roof, does not appear, which means that this practical function will not become standard, but will require additional optional installation. In fact, there is no need to regret it. The Multi-Fit concept proposed by Gwangyang allows the back seat to not only carry an awning, but also expand a variety of functions such as child seats and luggage.
The unique controllability and fun of inverted three-wheeled motorcycles are also something that riders talk about. The Gwangyang CV3, like the Yamaha Niken and Tricity? 300, uses independently working dual front shock absorbers. The system has more reliable stability and tracking when passing through rough, slippery, curved, crosswind and other road conditions. The power part is the same as the AK550, using an in-line two-cylinder water-cooled engine and an external belt drive system. Detailed parameters such as the fuel tank, vehicle weight, and seat height will not be known until mass production.
It is foreseeable that after mass production, Gwangyang CV3 will form misaligned competition with Samyang TL508, TMAX?560, FORZA750 and other twin-cylinder big sheep pedals, and even be able to have richer functions and more personalized positioning. To divert the original high-end two-wheeled big sheep user base. However, the selling price is not optimistic. Look at the nearly double price difference between MT-09 and Niken. How much will the 10w AK550 multi-wheels cost when turned into CV3?
