Life isn’t a car commercial. Real roads come with gridlock, stress, and wasted time. While the auto industry pours billions into glossy ads and oversized vehicles, Trinova has been working quietly in the garage, building a smarter, more efficient way to move.
At just about 850mm wide, Trinova’s fully electric, three-wheeled commuter vehicle glides through traffic like a motorcycle but with the safety and stability of a car. For some drivers in heavy traffic, that can mean reclaiming up to 180 hours per year time that translates to nearly five workweeks saved.
The efficiency story is just as compelling. Designed from the ground up to minimize energy waste, Trinova targets energy use of around ~0.13 kWh per mile, roughly about half the energy use of a Tesla Model 3, and about 7–9× more energy-efficient than a typical gas-powered sedan. With a target price starting at $18,000, the vehicle not only costs less upfront but delivers up to $2,500 in annual savings thanks to lower energy and maintenance needs. Over five years, that’s roughly $12,500 back in your pocket.
Trinova’s compact design also addresses one of the biggest urban headaches: congestion. In an illustrative comparison, a football field that fits ~360 traditional cars could accommodate over 1,400 Trinovas, representing about ~75% less space per vehicle (depending on layout assumptions). The result? Denser, more efficient use of city streets without sacrificing freedom of movement.
Safety is core to Trinova’s mission. The vehicle leans like a motorcycle, offering agility in tight spaces, but its three-wheel structure provides balance and security. As founder Markus Scholten put it: “I loved what motorcycles could do in traffic. But my family asked me not to take the risk… so I built Trinova instead.”
More than a vehicle, Trinova is a movement to rethink commuting. It’s about giving back time, cutting costs, reducing emissions, and reshaping cities for people, not traffic jams.
Trinova invites drivers everywhere to join its vision of freedom, efficiency, and zero-emission mobility, one lean at a time.
Now Accepting Pre-Orders

Trinova has opened pre-orders at $250 for its ultra-efficient three-wheeled EV commuter, giving early supporters a chance to secure priority access before full production. Designed to weave through traffic like a motorcycle but with added safety, Trinova promises significant time and cost savings.
This is not a purchase or investment. $250 secures your interest in owning a Trinova, but it is not a down payment on the vehicle and does not guarantee delivery. The $250 is fully refundable anytime.
If you change your mind, you can request a refund, no questions asked.
Pre-ordering locks in an early spot and supports the company’s vision of cleaner, more space-efficient urban mobility. However, buyers should note potential licensing requirements, production delays, and evolving specs typical of new EV startups.
Note on Lane Splitting (Filtering): While Trinova’s compact design offers increased maneuverability in traffic and the ability to navigate tight spaces, we strongly urge all drivers to use caution. Lane splitting is legal in California, and lane filtering is permitted in some other states under specific conditions, but both practices carry inherent risks. They should only be done where explicitly permitted, and always with extreme care. Please follow all local traffic laws and prioritize safety—for yourself and those around you.
