Tilting E-Quad Zips Through Traffic Like a Motorcycle

In 2014, French e-mobility firm AEMotion set out to merge motorcycle agility with the safety of a four-wheeler. Now, after extensive prototyping, its two-seat tilting vehicle is available for pre-order ahead of next year’s production.

The unnamed “microcar” will feature four wheels and tilting technology that lets it lean into turns like a motorcycle.

Over the years, many similar vehicles have emerged—three- and four-wheelers, with or without weather protection, powered by motors or pedals. This new model opts for a motor-only setup, reaching a top speed of 115 km/h (71.5 mph), leans up to 35 degrees, and uses a handlebar for steering instead of a traditional wheel.

Narrow Build, Smart Battery System, and Motorcycle-Style Seating

The specs list a fixed battery with 200 km range and swappable units offering 70 km each. It features motorcycle-style seating, with the driver in front, and requires a Permis B license and brief training in France. Both seats come with dual safety belts.

With a width of just 79 cm (31 in), the vehicle easily navigates traffic and parks upright without needing a kickstand. A weather-resistant shell and doors with windows protect both riders, though the lower door sections leave the driver’s legs partially exposed. A small rear storage area sits behind the seats, and you can expand it by sliding the passenger seat forward.

Trade Show Tour Continues as AEMotion Targets 2026 Launch

After debuting globally last year, AEMotion recently showcased its vehicle at VivaTech in Paris. Those looking for more details can reach out through the company’s pre-order or registration page. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, and it’s unclear whether the vehicle will be offered outside France. Initial deliveries are scheduled for late 2026 or early 2027.
