The Project 32 Slalom is a high-performance three-wheel vehicle that banks into curves like a motorcycle. Up to its limit of lean, occupants feel none of the sideways turn-forces experienced in ordinary automobiles. And in very sharp turns taken at the friction limit of the tires, lateral forces on occupants reach only half that experienced in a conventional, non-tilting vehicle. In addition to a more comfortable ride, tilting in curves gives P32 superior resistance to rollover. Consider that a motorcycle has no side-by-side wheels, yet it doesn't flip over in a turn. This is due to the motorcycle's angle of lean, or tilt, which keeps it in balance with the vector of forces in a turn. Project 32 Slalom takes corners in much the same way. By tilting, P32 can zoom through corners, and match the rollover resistance of high-performance four-wheel automobiles.   Click this logo to go to the Robert Q.
