Yamaha Motor released two design concept trikes today, one for road use and the other for off-road. The design concepts are based on the twin front wheels leaning multi-wheel Tricity and are named 03GEN-f and 03GEN-x. The 03GEN-f is a sportier, more futuristic of the two, while the latter is designed with more an off-road theme. The new concepts indicate that Yamaha has further plans to develop new three wheel bikes for the market.
The 03GEN-f concept
Yamaha has jumped on the three wheel hype train in early 2014 when they released the Tricity, a three-wheeled scooter for the European market. The guys at Yamaha seem to like the idea of three wheels since they came up with two new design concepts.

The 03GEN-f was designed with the underlying theme “Future Racing”, and it visually expresses both the futuristic feel – which is expressed by emphasizing the Leaning Multi Wheel mechanism – and Yamaha’s racing image. The scooter is made for city use, it looks like a high-tech scooter with a feet forward riding position. The 03GEN-f looks more like a concept than a production ready design.
The 03GEN-x concept
The 03GEN-x is much more „ready” to go into production or at least that’s what we think. The 03GEN-x, with “Cross” as its underlying design theme, combines both an advanced-looking frame that exposes the three wheels and the traditional off-road design that is reminiscent of the days of unpaved roads. The 03GEN-f was exhibited at the 36th Bangkok International Motor Show last week.
