Danish bike maker creates tadpole trike ‘MATE SUV’ with aerospace-grade aluminium frame

Danish bike specialist, MATE has unveiled a tricycle named 'SUV' with two wheels in the front. Though the construct resembles an Indian rickshaw, it is more like a tadpole trike that flaunts an aerospace-grade aluminium framework. 

MATE SUV is larger than a conventional two-wheeler bike and thus gets the 'SUV' tag behind its name. The company has been advertising that it is a "perfect alternative to the car, allowing you to easily navigate the city and avoid traffic."

According to the company, the vehicle provides the "convenience of a car, agility of a bike" because its sleek 920mm width allows the vehicle to easily pass through traffic. The use of aluminium in the composition has reduced the weight of the car to a great extent, as it is only 49kg (108 pounds).

The MATE SUV can bear 210 litres of weight which is greater than many European cars' rear trunks. The roof is convertible, giving the tadpole trike a sophisticated look. The vehicle can be utilised for delivering parcels, food, or other essential items so that it can be considered a "family van". It can also safely transport kids and average-sized adults.

The SUV's build is absolutely robust due to the use of aerospace-grade aluminium and shock absorbers. Since aluminium is an infinitely recyclable material, the MATE SUV's chassis can be transformed and reused at the end of its life.

The car can reach the ultimate speed of 100 km (62 miles), and the top speed can be 25km/h (15 mph), attracting many delivery providers. The production of this utility car has been scheduled for the third quarter of 2023, and analysation says that this latest addition will simplify delivery services in the future.
