Swerv Electric Trike Puts Riders Face-Down for Maximum Thrills

Kerim Taskin, a designer behind the UK-based startup Sweren, has developed the Swerv, an electric trike that allows riders to adopt a low, face-forward prone position, enhancing their sensation of speed and connection to the road. This innovative vehicle began as a student project at Imperial College London's Dyson School of Design Engineering, focusing more on immersive experiences than urban functionality. Its sleek aluminum frame and minimalistic design promote physical interaction through body movement and vibrations. The product range features a road-legal pedal-assist model for the UK, an off-road electric variant, and a smaller version for children. Public test rides can be experienced at Brighton's Preston Park Velodrome.
