New Zealand is not exactly a hotspot for concept vehicles, yet we are now receiving pictures of this pretty three-wheeler / tricyle from down kiwi land. Combining the compactness of a motorbike and some of the practicality of a car, the Hodge Hawk addresses some current as well as future human mobility needs.

Designed by Alex Hodge it is powered by a Honda RC51 V-twin 999cc motor that revs up to a dizzy 10,000rpm for a 120ps shot at the 19-inch front wheel. Hodge claims a 233km/h peak velocity on the three-wheeler.

Light materials are prominent in use as seen with generous use of carbon fibre and plastic coating. The concept bike looks very much like a car up front, complete with headlights and a windscreen stretching to the rear panorama-style. Parking space is not going to be much of an issue with the Hawk, although it may not exactly fit into the same spaces as a regular motor bike. At the same time some car-like usefulness like complete shelter from the elements will be welcome if it ever makes the production cut.

 

... in case you forgot what the T-Rex is...

 

looks bad ass, but I think 19" is a bit of overkill

 

it's not a bad idea......for a concept that is
i like how the styling is going but everything is just too big
and as with most concepts they usually take out the crazy stuff when it goes to production, like hopefully that panormic glass i would feel so claustrofobic in that, and what happens in an accident?glass would be coming at you from all directions
