Abstract: This  research  focuses  on  handling  performances  of  an  innovative  threewheeled  vehicle.  A  three-wheeled  vehicle  is  a  fine  synthesis  between  the maneuverability and compactness of a motorcycle andthe stability and loadbearing  capacity  of  a  four-wheeled  car.  Simulation  using   universal mechanism  program  in  expecting  to  evaluate  the  parts  of  handling  with different  configuraton  from  a  vehicle  to  find  new  handling  index,  which  is also  shown  the  quantity  of  kynematic  and  dynamic  of the  vehicle.  Two wheeled vehicle has a nimble maneuver and simple ofdimention better than four  wheeled  vehicle.  But  its  also  has  weakness  in  lacking  of  handling, safetiness  and  stability, which is  not found in  four  wheeled  vehicle. How if the three aspect applied into two wheeled vehicle technology. The simulation result showed that i.r.c configuration above the ground have roll  transfer  function  value  greater  than  i.r.c  configuration  on  the  ground and  below  the  ground  at  all  the  speed.  So  that,  it  concluded  that  i.r.c configuration  above  the  ground  was  easier  to  be  handle.  These  result  was agree  with  qualitatif  test.  Most  of  the  test  drivers  (96,7  %)  said  that  i.r.c configuration above the ground had a little effort  to handle than the others configurations. However, 96,7 % of the test driverssaid that i.r.c below the ground was more stable.
