A conversion assembly modifies a three-wheeled, open-air roadster into a four-wheeled vehicle. This enhancement alters the vehicle’s handling characteristics and overall stability. The primary goal is to provide a driving experience more akin to a conventional automobile, potentially appealing to a broader range of drivers.
The significance of this modification lies in its ability to address perceived limitations of the original three-wheeled design. By adding a fourth wheel, the vehicle’s weight distribution is altered, generally resulting in increased stability, particularly during cornering and braking. Historically, similar conversions have been explored to improve the usability and market appeal of unconventional vehicle designs.
