Today I drive one of the wackiest creations ever to hit the road. It's not a car, it's not a bike and it's not really even a trike. It's the self-tilting two seater three wheel Carver One - and its rare as hens teeth but I finally get to have a go. What will happen?

I have one of the 3 Carver Ones in Scotland. Its most definatrly not a city car, its natural home is on the fast twisty country road where it excels. Watching Jay drive there he needs more time behind the wheel as hes really not smooth with it at all. Once you have the hang of it you can confidently throw it into corners far faster than most 4 wheel vehicles and there is none of that wobbling back and forth you see in the video, thats driver induced. As for comparisons as to what it drives likes, its like driving a little fighter jet on the road! (But with much lower fuel burn!).

@ChristianRThomas Жыл бұрын

This is somewhat reassuring, but I still think the only reason I would ever want to drive one would be if I had designed it. That would then lead to questions about what I did with my life. 😂😂 There is actually a form of suspension that will allow you to roll into the corners (essentially the car body hangs like a pendulum) which presumably would be a bit more natural than this but probably induced jacking (though I don't remember as it probably hasn't been used for 50 years and I think was only ever tried on race cars). But what surprises is that that this sort of hydraulic tomfoolery hasn't trickled down into super-cheap hydraulics in production cars. The hydraulic pump can't be drawing much power when you only have 66bhp to play with, so I would have thought this would be a pretty good template for future development.

@39PSIOnTheDaily Жыл бұрын

As a kid, I remember reading articles about this thing. I think the ironic awkwardness behind this… thing… is that you sit in it and drive it like you would a car, but it turns into corners as a motorcycle would, which is entirely counter-intuitive physics-wise as to how a car would lean going through a turn. If you ever wanted to experience a true cerebral-level fustercluck, this’d be the way to do it.

Indeed. DAF's variomatic, better known as Continuous Variable Transmission, was the first commercially successful CVT. It was the only modern automobile technology that was used on public roads BEFORE it was used in racing. In 1993 Williams tested their new car with a CVT and it was significantly faster. Few weeks after testing F1 explicitly banned CVT's for being an unfair advantage.

As a biker and a driver, I would LOVE even a short drive in a Carver. I have ridden something that is vaguely similar; the Piaggio MP3 which is a three wheeler that has two front wheels and tilts via complex hydraulics and that, while odd and counter-intuitive to start with, I quickly got used to that so I don't doubt the Carver is the same. I suspect the lack of understeer is the use of a bike tyre as motorcycle rubber is generally sticker and grippier than car tyres, and is probably loaded similarly to a normal bike, so it probably is as grippy as it needs to be. Kudos to the owner for buying it and also using it. This is probably one of the coolest vehicles that will ever feature on the channel.

We actually did a testdrive in an 45 km/h electric Carver a few years ago. My wife in the back still dreams about that on bad days. She didn't like it. At 45 km/h! That was the limit for any Carver you could buy then. A couple of weeks after that I bought a Twizy which reaches 90km/h. Also wonky to drive as it can do roundabouts at redicilous speeds because of the very low point of gravity. To be honest the sensation in a Carver is more spectacular. That may be due to the unpredictable leaning while steering. But it was a very memorable experience!

Anybody remember the Bond company that made three wheelers back in the 1960's. Now 60 years later we are back at the same situation, with small three wheeler cars with small engines. There was also the Heinkel and Reliant. Very light, small vehicles that had very efficient small petrol engines. The EV equivalents do seem to be ricing themselves out of the market. Lotus made some very nice , light and sporty cars and , at the time, they were not too expensive to buy and run. I think we don't have to make cars so big and heavy when there are such light materials available. In Switzerland there seems to be a following for small vehicles, they may be home made, based on bicycles, which are fine if you dont have steep hills. There is an opening in the market for a cheap, socially acceptable , light, efficient vehicle and there are an array of available engines that could be used. We need another Colin Chapman.

No one was expecting this Car!

I love that there’s a cup holder. Spanner seems appropriate. Seeing the Carver on the move, it looks fantastic. Majestic through sweeping bends. I’d prefer it over a microcar, but then I’m a biker. 600kg seems pretty heavy, given my Suzuki GSX1400 is under 330kg fully fuelled, with me on it.

It looks like a very strange, but fun, sensation driving one of these!!

This is exactly the kind of car I’d buy, just to find out the mrs won’t let me put the kids in the back, and not understand why! 🤣🤣🤣

I see a Carver up here near Bangor. Always looking stunning. Britain beat the Dutch by some margin to this concept. The Ariel 3 which has a legendary place in British transportation history. Not necessarily for the best reasons but hey… Perhaps a comparison might be …ahem…interesting. I’ll just leave that with you😂

Didn't know you ride motorbikes! Any videos? Would love a video or two for somebody getting into bikes or back into them. I rode a bit as a teen and thinking about getting back into it and now 20yrs later not sure where to begin 😆

If anything, this reminds me in scope of the Can-Am Spyders that are sold in Canada - three wheeled trikes that have the handling aspects of a car more than a motorcycle, but applied in reverse.
