Thoughts on this one???

It's offensive to my eyes.

Who the hell though that was a bike that should be made...

Hopefully it'll offer something for riders who've become disabled while riding....get them back out again.

It'll make the perfect Christmas gift for the double-amputee in your life.....

You know what.....the more I think about it, the more I like it.....if the bike industry is able to foist this thing on us, it must mean it's in a pretty good place right now, surely??

It looks like a solution for a problem that doesn't exist.
Hard to see any point. From a practical perspective I see lot's of disadvantages over a conventional bike, and the only (dubious) advantage is that if your front tyre got a puncture you may be able to "limp" on the other one.??

not my cup of tea

Hmmmm that look s like a split decision so far.
As far as things stand at the moment i would like to test ride it, see what the fuss is about, they havent launched this to fail so they must have done some research. Do you need a full bike license to ride it? It is a trike after all!
The more i look at it i do like it, its a brave choice to test the waters, only time will tell if it succeeds or fails i guess.

Nope!!

If Dr Frankenstein made bikes.....

I have an MT09.....I have a habit of falling off......problem solved maybe? haha

I'd want to test that. It's interesting.

I wonder if you can lean it like a normal bike in corners? If you could imagine the front end grip

At least they are trying and i admire that.

I liked the TDR take on it that you could run a wet and a slick tyre on it so you never have to come in to change tyres

It's a jumped up version of what Piaggio made 6+ years ago

Oh yeah...I'd forgotten about that Piaggio thing.

I suppose it's like a mini Can-Am Spyder. Maybe??


There's a TV show here.....Antique Archeology or sommit. Anyway...the guy is big on anything bikes or bicycles.....he's always uncovering weird & wonderful stuff like this......usually Depression Era inventions from the US, or post WWII European stuff.....Isetta cars, stuff like that - the "Next Big Thing", etc.

This thing will soon follow the illustrious path of Clive Sinclair's C5, methinks
