not your grandpa's trike

If I have to revert to riding a trike this is what I'd want to get.

Well, that is certainly a different approach.

Im not sure if I would buy one myself, but Id love to try one out.

cactusjack · 07-04-2008, 07:52 PM

I don't care for the look, personally. But, to each his own.

Well, if health reasons take one off of 2 wheels, at least you can lean into the corners on that rather than a regular trike, which drives like truck.

It's a copy of Vespa's mp3 scooter.

To me it looks like your lean angle is really limited.........probably does handle better than a regular trike though.

Saw two of them on the road today. Takes a little getting used to the look but has to be beat the conventional trike as far as the ride. Driving like a truck, as AGR says, is being generous to grandpa's trike. And, imagine the braking potential with two front wheels

Looks like he got in a little hot to some of those corners though. He crossed over the lines more than once.

I'd noticed that too CMQ. It could be that it oversteers or understeers and he hasn't been able to tune it out. I also saw a pic of it on another site and they had the sidestand down. I would think though that you could incorporate a steering lock so you could park the bike without using the sidestand and having it fall over.

Hell "n" Damnation!! It looks unnatural!!

jussmatt · 07-05-2008, 11:05 AM

It's definitely different!! Like most, I would like to give it a try, but I don't think I would want one!!

That looks a lot like that 3 wheeled car called the Carver. If I had to go to a trike I believe I would like this concept better than the conventional trike.
