When it comes to cargo tricycles, the first thing that comes to mind for many people is the naive shape and heavy cargo.
No way, after so many years, cargo tricycles still have that low-key and pragmatic image.
It has nothing to do with any innovative design, and it is basically not involved in any technological upgrades in the industry.
Fortunately, a foreign designer named HTH Han saw the sorrow of the cargo tricycle, and gave it a drastic transformation, making the cargo tricycle practical and fashionable~
This is Rhaetus——
Just by its appearance alone, this three-wheeler already outshines all similar models.
With a silver and black color scheme, a simple and exquisite body, and three large exposed wheels, it looks like it is not comparable to those cargo tricycles at the entrance of the village.
What’s even more special is that it adopts an inverted three-wheel design, with two wheels in the front and a single wheel in the rear. The cargo area is also designed in the front, and the long and slender thing in the back is the seat.
So it feels weird to ride.
Of course, such a unique appearance does not sacrifice its cargo capacity.
As a small three-wheeler about 1.8 meters long and 1 meter wide, Rhaetus has 172 liters of cargo space and a maximum load of 300 kilograms, which is enough to meet daily transportation needs.
After seeing this, some people may think that it is unnecessary to make a three-wheeled cargo truck look so cool. After all, this kind of use does not require it to look good and fashionable.
But in fact, Rhaetus is not only positioned for carrying cargo, the designers also hope that it can become a scooter for your daily commuting.
So he arranged a unique trick for Rhaetus, which is that it can switch from cargo mode to commuter mode with one click.
The cargo area is actually a foldable structure, and the main shaft at the bottom is also retractable. The cargo area can be folded directly in commuting mode.
At the same time, the wheelbase of the two wheels will also be reduced from 1 meter to 0.65 meters.
There are also night lights on the front and rear sides of the cargo area, which combine to form the e-bike’s headlight when folded.
When riding it in this form, I don’t think anyone would think it was a cargo tricycle. At most, it was just a weird-looking electric bicycle.
It can be said that this deformation structure has greatly expanded the application scenarios of cargo-carrying three-wheelers. When you want to carry cargo, you can use the cargo mode. When you are not carrying cargo, you can also ride it like an electric bicycle for commuting and shopping, which greatly increases the usage rate.
And compared with traditional cargo tricycles, the dashboard on Rhaetus is also more advanced.
It’s a large color LCD screen that displays navigation mode, speed, battery level, turn signals and driving mode, with a dedicated on-screen control knob for quickly switching between available options.
It is reported that designer HTH Han has already built the first prototype car, but it has not yet been determined when it will be mass-produced and launched.
