Description
CERVA MC08 is a new transport vehicle with one general (multi)-purpose cab. The cab can be used for all different mounts (car, motorcycle, jet plane, yacht or submarine). It could be combined with various extensions. For example, it could be used for road transportation by using its three wheel axle. (According to the accelerated speed in case of stableness, the middle wheel is slipping forward, in slow speed the stableness is established by gyroscopes hidden in the axle.)
Safety is warranted by a solid steel or carbon frame. An inspiration for this technical design was skull of tiger.
“CERVA MC08” is designed for transportion of one person or two people and an adequate load. Motor drive provides hydrogenous cells.
