WOW, that is pretty cool

Spokes will be bassackards on one side.  :comp13:

Aside from the wheels, it seems odd that they use the one cyclops headlight rather than the standard 'Wing lights.

I'm confused.  I counted four headlights in the above pic. :unsure:

In the bottom photo the bike's in motion and the standard lights are not operating.  Same in the video.

That's not in the USA.  Many countries don't require bikes to run headlights in the day time and come equipped with a headlight switch.

Why  not a car tire on the  rear tire ?

Looks  expensive !

You need the rounded section of a motorcycle tire as the bike still leans to turn.....

Or just buy a car

I personally have no problem with the trike-based vehicles that lean into a corner such as Piaggio MP3, the Lazareth or Neo Wing that dutchinterceptor mentioned.  I have personally wished many times to have a go on a Piaggio... I suspect you could bomb the hell out of a corner on one.

I have no interest in the "flat wheeled" trikes and would personally never own one as long as I have both my legs.  For those with physical limitations, I think it is an acceptable solution.   But I think the "leaners" would be the perfect solution for those with limitations, especially if the side-by-side wheels could be automatically locked upright upon approaching a stop.

Wherever your tastes or proclivities lie, I feel it is pretty small-minded to lump everything with more than two wheels together with "just buy a car".  I would love to have a further explanation as to how you feel the Lazareth and a "car" are comparable vehicles?

Wonderful, another solution without a problem  :dry:


#15

At least it's NOT a Trike!   :491:

Yes,......... we will most likely only see pics of bikes with this system from the right side...... :rolleyes:
