that's a pretty cool looking concept... but where is the suspension for the middle wheel? and i think an extra wheel would add more weight than it would be worth.
We've voted around the house and we here at Boganvilla all agree that this bike is as gay as aids.
I'd still be interested in looking at pics of the other side though if you have any.
sorry rocket no more pic's...it's something i found while bumming around on the nett. xa i dare say the front and middle wheel move on the same piviot point. it's different but not for me[xx(]
Concept is the key word there. As far as I can figure, without rear wheel steering there's not a hope in hell of making that go around a corner. What's the problem it's trying to solve?
Centre wheel drive. Now thats a head fuck for filling in RTA forms. Haven't seen that box to tick. I'm guessing it won't mono very well.
:cool: Oblivious !!

Power sliding then getting high sided would be almost impossible. You could get on the power harder with out worrying about losing the back end.
I think thats a very cool "concept", i dont think we'll ever see it on the road tho...
Just what you need another wheel, as if two tires doesn't cost enough.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Looks to me like one of those wank venture capital scams, produce a flashy video, multi page glossy brochure with lots of 'buzz' words, present it at a no expense spared 'seminar' to people with no technical acumen whatsoever, tell them you are going to change the world of motorcycling(or insert choice of scam here) forever, take venture capital funds and move in to flashy offices with fit chicks to answer the phones. Then spend the next five years flying round the world on 'sales trips' whilst paying yourself $2M/yr. In that five yrs there may be a proof of concept 'prptotype' produced to fleece more money and keep it going for another few yrs, at the end of it all just say sorry, the concept was sound but we don't yet have the technology to properly implement it, then go on holiday for a year or two whilst thinking up the next scam.
No wheelies......forget it.

Just piss the rear wheel off and mount the shock to the 2nd wheels trailing arm.
It'd be that short wheelies wouldn't be through choice...
"No thanks bro, that's fucked."
looks like you'd need long legs to just sit on it ...unless it self balances !
Marvel of engerneering to make it work. But Y I ask , heavyer less manoverable more parts and complexity to do what? Go slower but safer? Just ride to the conditions and save lots of effort time and money.
Some pretty original thinking which is good, although somewhat pointless.
no power slides! whots the point
no words
just fotos
now nws
well which trike would you ride
