Designed as a crossover between a car and motorcycle, the V-13R by Canadian company Cirbin may not be your idea of a performance roadster. But Cirbin’s co-founders Andre Morisette and David Neault have promised that this sizzling trike, with glimpses of the Hot-Rod era, is a guaranteed head-turner and a fun ride.

A 1250 cc Harley-Davidson V-Twin engine sheds 125 hp to the rear wheel, connected to a V-ROD five-speed sequential transmission. The tubular steel chassis is dressed in a fiberglass bodywork, which comes in three colors: red, black and silver. There’s also the option of a black powdered coated or chromed chassis with matching powder coated black or polished wheels.

Inside, the V-13R seats two adults, and a grab bar eases entry to and exit from the vehicle. Safety is ensured by the triangulated side walls, the tubular steel roll bars and 3-point seatbelts.

The V-13R instrument panel is a Harley-Davidson V-ROD Intelligent Instrument Cluster, which is positioned in the center but tilted slightly towards the driver for easy readability. Under the hood is an integrated and waterproof cargo space to store all your personal luggage. Prices start at US$39,995, with additional costs depending on customization options.
