Tilting Scooters

The Auto Moto Has Three Wheels For Fun Eco Commutes

— April 30, 2009 — Autos
The Auto Moto three wheel scooter will zoom you around town in style and will do so while achieving 83MPG. The Auto Moto is a great urban commuter that blends features of a car and a motorcycle to create a totally new and unique driving experience. This eco-friendly and fuel efficient vehicle comes standard with many features such as a high performance GY6 engine and continuously variable automatic transmission(CVT) which gives The Auto Moto a top speed of 60mph.

For a price tag of only $3,800, the standard features are very impressive, such as a speaker system combined with an AM/FM/MP3 connection, alarm system, ABS, mobile phone recognition system, and a carbon fiber style dash.

The Auto Moto is highly maneuverable and owes this to two key features, the first being the rocker system which allows the main cab to tilt independent of the engine compartment thus alleviating roughly 45% of the total vehicle weight for the operator. Second is the Posi-traction rear end which distributes power evenly between the rear wheels allowing the rider to take sharp turns and not have to worry about the rear end sliding out like on a conventional motorcycle or scooter.

Some states currently allow The Auto Moto to be operated with a regular drivers license so there’s even more reason to get out there and enjoy a nice day of riding.
