As the need for other options to traditional cars arises, the TerraCraft vehicle may just be the solution to the over-crowding of cars.

The TerraCraft is a [3-wheeled vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-trike-design) that has the ease of a motorcycle with the coverage of a car. The roof on theTerraCraft is [retractable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-iris-etrike), which allows you to experience the outdoors, or to cover yourself from the elements. The seats are designed to be similar to a motorcycle, which means that it's a front to back two-seater. One of the most interesting qualities of this vehicle is its steering system. Since the TerraCraft is a true [hybrid between a car and motorcycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bike-car-hybrid), the driver can steer normally, or switch to a manual steer system that will allow you to lean in with the turns. This TerraCraft vehicle is truly a revolutionary way to drive.
