good selection of trikes , they are the way of the future with modern engineering , the leaning reverse trikes are the ducks nuts and the haters havent tried riding one or most of them wouldnt be carrying on , have the piaggio mp3 250 , a canam spyder as well as my NORMAL bikes .. they are all enjoyable for different reasons and uses
first time i saw this reverse trike concept in one episode of ChiPS in 79', i remember this fancy motorcycle with two moving front wheels for better turns
The vehicles look funny, but I'm a confident motorcyclist. If I bought something like that, I could buy a sports car right now that has four wheels, but what you see here is not half and nothing
The leaning steampunk at the beginning is a fantastic combination of engineering and delightful style, a real grin. The next two (non-leaning) appear to be well engineered until noticing the stupidity of motorcycle tires. THEY DON'T LEAN, PUT CAR TIRES ON THEM. WHAT A COMPLETE WASTE OF BIKE TIRES AND POTENTIAL TRACTION.
If you look at the demands a leaning motor cycle wheel and a car wheel make you need a lot more spokes to carry the lateral loading.Look at a spoked E type back wheel will show what I mean.
The second vehicle you showed here that was taken from my video is the Yamaha R1 powered Terracraft, NOT a Gixxer 1000!! And by the way, it does lean autonomously with our rider assist software package we developed. The vehicles are designed and hand built in Bacliff Texas.
What about reverse? It must be difficult pushing a 3/4 ton custom hot rod trike out of a parking spot. is there a weight standard/requirement/cutoff (legal or industry accepted) where reverse becomes necessary?
No offense me saying this... let me say this in the nicest way But now even disable people get to be rugged on the road nowaday...thats a good thing really, everyone deserve to look good
There are places for Trikes ... I like the look of three wheeled motorcycles but I think when there are three wheels it needs the operator space enclosed.
Most trikes built so you don't have to put your feet down and they have bike seats in my opinion bike seats stupid on trikes when you can have a nice car seats for long trips
Trying to think of a benefit that justifies the time and expense to construct and I’m coming up with nothing excerpt maybe an indirect way of asking for a divorce.
