    Default New Concept -- Group Spyder Riding

    In an effort to create strong communities of Spyder riders, a new version of the Spyder is being developed. The bike -- based on the beloved Y Factor -- includes seven positions for riders. Taking the Spyder in a totally new direction, this version has no motor! Instead each of the seven riders contributes to the total ride experience. Those who have tested this model come away from the ride with wide smiles on their faces.

    It is planned to offer the first bike off the line to SpyderAnn01.

    I'll bet you that drivetrain is a lot more complex than the current models!

    I have seen pics of this thing before. They say it works, but I do not think I want to forward, while looking to the rear.

    And after a long ride this could give new meaning to the "limp home mode."
