Honda公佈了2015年東京車展的參展作品,最令人期待是三輪作品NeoWing。令人振奮的原因除了是Honda終於有可傾斜轉向的三輪電單車之外,更是採用水平對向四缸引擎設計,是世上唯一採用多缸引擎的可傾斜轉向三輛電單車。留意NeoWing的boxer引擎是放在車架中下方,而其他常見的三輪綿羊把機器和離合器放在尾擔,隨著行車不停上下擺動,再加上偏後的重心破壞操控。而NeoWing的引擎擺放位置和傳統電單車相近,令重心更穩定和歸一。但別以為這是Honda首創,早在2007年,Brudeli便做出中置引擎,雙頭輪傾斜轉向的LeanSter三輪電單車<<(接此重溫)>>。
所以NeoWing破格之處,在於採用多缸引擎,而且更是混能設計。Hybrid系統有電動馬達,在低速時提供無廢氣動力,在加速時和內燃機聯手提供加速所需的扭力。NeoWing的雙頭輪連桿頭擔是Honda獨門研發,雙頭輪在低速行車或急速轉向時能提供更穩定的行車感受,同時Hybrid動力系統,提供跑車級數的動力享受,絕對令人期待。其餘新展品主要集中在節能為上的入門級作品,還有CB街車。論新鮮度,當然不及採用對向引擎的三輪NeoWing。

EV-Cub Concept: It is a personal commuter model for short-distance commuting that follows the concept of an “easy-to-handle and economical motorcycle” that Honda has been pursuing since the creation of the first-generation Super Cub. By placing the battery, a heavy component, at a low position in the middle of the body, the ease of getting on and off the bike was achieved. Moreover, ease-of-handling was pursued through concentration of the mass and lowering of the center of gravity. In consideration of ease-of-use in a broader range of use environments, the battery itself was made detachable in addition to the fact that it is rechargeable using a standard home wall socket. |
