LED headlights (sold separately) can be installed.
This electric RC model recreates a three-wheeled motorcycle (sleeter) with one front wheel and two rear wheels. Its greatest feature is that it corners by leaning the body, just like real three-wheelers such as the Honda Gyro series. The way it bankes the cockpit as it turns is very unique and thrilling.
The body (exterior) features a helmeted rider and is made of lightweight, durable polycarbonate. It runs on four AA alkaline batteries, and can also use the rechargeable LF1100 battery.
Adopts the three-wheeled chassis “T3-01” that is equipped with a self-righting function
It uses a “support arm” that works in conjunction with the servo movement to assist with the standing up motion.

The rear section, connected by a roll axis, is equipped with a “cam slide suspension” with built-in coil springs.
The three-wheeled chassis “T3-01” creates a new driving sensation with its front section equipped with the R/C mechanism and battery. The rear section integrates the motor and gearbox, with the front and rear sections connected by a rotating roll axis. The movement of the servo mounted on the front section is transmitted via a link, and the reaction that moves the rear section creates a movement that tilts the front section left and right.
The key to the mechanism that allows the car to right itself when it falls over is the “support arm” attached to the cornering servo. When the car falls over, the support arm moves in conjunction with the servo, changing the center of gravity of the car and allowing it to right itself.
To control the vehicle when it falls, simply turn the steering wheel on the transmitter as far as it will go in the direction of the fall.The vehicle’s quick recovery, a movement not found in four-wheeled vehicles, is just as exciting and fun as its unique cornering.
The front suspension is a telescopic type with a shape and function unique to motorcycles. The rear is equipped with a “cam slide suspension” that combines suspension and damper functions in a compact layout. The rear axle is equipped with a “planetary differential” that improves cornering performance, allowing for a light and nimble ride even in a small space.
