Motorcycling is one of the last freedoms available to those who want the total view, the total sound, and, very importantly, the total smell of our planet. Once an avid rider, he remains an avid rider. Also, with time, owning a motorcycle becomes more of a lifestyle statement. However, motorcycling and age don’t go hand in hand. As one ages and gets closer to retirement, motorcycling becomes more challenging.

The main intention of this project, was to design a motorcycle for such riders who can continue riding their passion, experiencing the same motorcycle feel minus the risks and certain difficulties that come with it. Another intention of this project was to style a trike, i.e., a three-wheeled motorcycle, as it provides a broader spectrum of safety and comfort. Secondly, the product was designed throughout to be viable in the very near future. And thirdly, it must connect to the emotions of the prospective users.

A brief study of the motorcycles of the classic era in India was researched, along with global trends happening in the three-wheeled motorcycle segment. A thorough user research helped in finding out what the prospective users really wished for while going motorcycle riding.

As per the research, the design brief was set to ‘Styling of a three-wheeled motorcycle for avid elderly users’, with certain parameters to work around: ease of access, luggage bags, and a new riding experience. The challenge was to design it in such a way that it doesn’t look as if it is a differently abled motorcycle. As the keywords that came out of the survey grand, classic,larger-than-life," and road presence, the final design helped in portraying these characters.
