A new concept from TrakRok.
-Info-
The TrakRok Concept is a design study of an all-terrain trike vehicle with two front-wheels and a rear track system. The author is industrial designer Alexei Mikhailov.
Taking inspiration by snowmobiles, the TrakRok is an unconventional ATV that can be used not only as an off-roader but also on snowy and muddy environments.
Each one of the two wheels at the front is driven by an individual electric motor, while at the rear traction is provided by the independent track system with segmented rubber plates.
At the core of the TrakRok is the chassis, composed of an exoskeleton in hard anodized aluminum.
As Alexei Mikhailov explains, "The overall design mimics a shell-like rib cage with hollowed out pattern sections, resulting into a lightweight assembly construction."
The powertrain uses hydrogen fuel cell technology, with the fuel cells positioned in the center belly of the vehicle, thus lowering the center of gravity.
The fuel cell cluster is contained within a casing to protect from the outer environment, and is liquid cooled by two large radiator intakes at the front of the vehicle.
The vehicle is targeted to leisure and sport activities, as well as a number of other professional fields, including military, farming and construction.
