Carver Europe, makers of the really cool tilting three wheel car, the Carver One, has gone bankrupt. It seems, though, Advanced Technology Licensing Company, which was formed to sell the tilting technology, is still in business, so the technology itself may live on and be used by other manufacturers in their own vehicles.

Three Wheel Motor Vehicles
Bombardier has issued a recall for a number of 2008 and 2009 Can Am Spyder Roadsters for a problem related to high steering effort under certain conditions when the vehicle is drifting. The description is a little vague and “appropriate components” will be replaced. I wonder what that means. I also wonder how much [...]
The number of 3 wheelers powered by motorcycle engines has grown with the introduction of the Scorpion Prodigy by Scorpion Motorsports. The fiberglass bodied reverse trike comes in 3 flavors, the GSX-R 600cc Prodigy P6 , the GSX-R 1000cc P10 and the Hayabusa 1300cc P13.

This looks more like a sports car than a Formula racer and the power you plug in comes from a GSX-R 750 rolling chassis.

The Sportcycle was a 3 wheeler designed by Jim Musser, using a Kawasaki ZRX 1100 as the power source. Actually, it uses almost the entire ZRX 1100, you just remove the forks and connect everything else into the Sportcycle front end. Controls for the throttle, clutch, transmission and rear brake attach to the front assembly. [...]
Two years ago when the Piaggio MP3 was getting all of the attention as the new tilting 3 wheeler, lots of other companies were trying to adapt the technology for use on motorcycles. Harley Davidson had their idea, the Brudeli Leanster showed up and more recently, Tilting Motor Works put a 2 wheel front end [...]
