"Will it have to be eliminated if it can't keep up with the times？"
Background: Transportation is the most basic for everyone. Every day people on their way to work and out of work and everyone's choice of the transportation is different. The increase in vehicles caused considerable traffic pressure, especially in first-tier cities such as NewYork, Chicago and LA are more obvious. During the rush hour, subways, buses, and cars are crowded without a space.
Three-wheeled motorcycle. I believe that everyone who living in a big city is deeply touched by the congested traffic and has a huge impact on their travels. They also want to change this kind of situation. Due to capital and external constraints, cars, buses, and subways cannot meet people's needs for transportation. Compared to bicycles, balance bikes, although they are convenient. But the driving distance is limited, and if there is a long distance, few people will choose this type of transportation. A motorcycle is a means of transportation between a bicycle and a car. It is a good choice to travel long distances. There are many types of motorcycles, two-wheeled, three-wheeled, and four-wheeled. Three-wheeled motorcycles are divided into positive three-wheels and side three-wheels.

Development of styles and colors. Through a lot of hand-drawn shapes and color choices of motor tricycles, explore the rules in this series of evolution, and determine the basic styles of the main part and the secondary part of motor tricycles.

Grasshopper Curve
Fish Curve
Morphological semantics. Abstract the curve from the natural world, and apply them into the shape of the motor tricycles.
Divergence. Based on the extracted curves above, they were added to the shape of the motorcycle, and the basic shapes of the five models were determined.
Ergonomics. Nine models are 160cm-185cm tall, with leg lengths ranging from 70cm-95cm. This height range represents the vast majority of people, using these nine models as a reference for ergonomic testing.

I did some adjustments after the ergonomic testing to ensure the better user experience.

Joint method. After drawing a lot of sketches of connection methods, I found a connection structure that is most suitable for this three-wheeled motorcycle.
