Tilting electric three-wheelers may be fun and agile, but they’re generally still not as safe to drive as good ol’ four-wheeled cars. The Kairos EV could change that, as it features not one but two unique safety systems.

It’s not a new design. Leaning is attempting to leverage a concept from 2 wheeled physics to bandaid their poor design (all three wheelers):
Leaning shifts a center of gravity and leverages that force. Except 3 wheels receive different levels of force and cannot distribute it evenly… because it is a triangle. Also leaning doesn’t do much for the passenger which is still elevated and raises the center of gravity. These don’t just flip- they tumble.
