Japanese automaker Yamaha has just unveiled its new electric vehicle concept, Tricera, ahead of the Japan Mobility Show 2023.
What’s interesting about this new model concept is its unique design than most tri-wheeled vehicles.
What’s currently known about the Yamaha Tricera?
Yamaha Tricera’s design does not have a roof and doors. The seat bolsters are the only elements that separate riders from the environment, providing an unmatched thrill.
Remarkably, it also has a distinctive delta trike design with two front wheels and a single rear wheel for three-wheeled steering.
In effect, the concept tricycle’s single rear wheel can also divert for extra-tight turns.
It also features both automatic and manual steering configurations for the rear wheel, Electrek noted. Yamaha claims the manual setting offers “a sense of accomplishment that comes when acquiring and developing new driving skills.” It also asserts that the concept opposes modern mobility’s shift towards automated driving.
“Modern mobility is shifting toward automated driving, but that is precisely why Yamaha Motor is going back to basics.”

Technical details
Yamaha has yet to announce the technical details of the Yamaha Tricera, given that it is still only a concept. It also remains vague if this concept will actually undergo production.
However, Trend Hunter indicates previous reports that it may feature a driving range of approximately 100 km (62 miles) between chargers. It is also expected to have an 80 km/h (50 mph) top speed.
All that said, it will be a strong competitor to electric tricycles like the Arcimoto FUV and Roadster.
