Honda, Gigafactory, Delta, Patents.

Honda prototypes three-wheeled HEV: According to an emerged patent, Honda is currently working on a hybrid electric trike. If this motorcycle with two wheels in the front will ever go serial remains to be seen, esp. as the patent emphasises motor cooling.

We apologise for what must have been too much wishful thinking from our side.
