This was based on a specification drawn up by Renault Sport Technologies designed to offer wavering motorists an innovative alternative, mid-way between a conventional two-wheeler and a car. This is more than just a design study, as its chief aim was to present a product that could be on the market by 2003.
Ublo’s unibody, three-wheeler design also makes great play with colour, featuring a subdued orange-red for the rear compartment and instrument panel, a mid-gunmetal grey for the lower fairings exposed to splashing, and grey for the smoked Plexiglas roof.
Thanks to its overall width of just 770mm, Ublo will be able to cope with traffic congestion like any other two-wheeler.
For even safer nighttime use, Ublo is equipped with a Xenon double optic lighting system in front and three stop lights in the rear, including one in the high position. To avoid increasing vehicle width, rear view vision, which is vital when riding a two-wheeler, is provided by a camera set in the Ublo’s rear, above the top box. The camera gives riders a panoramic view of the situation behind on the screen centrally mounted on the handlebars.
