3 Wheeled Vehicles

[ZRCAT600]

Has anyone seen these?

Looks like kits to convert snowmobiles to road vehicles.

Interesting...
But I wonder how tough it is to get them declared, "Steet Legal"? I guess that problem varies; by the State.... :shocked:

I was also wondering about the stability and handling conpaired to the spyder. I know alot has gone into the spyders.

But I wonder how a snowmobile engine would run in the summer heat without snow being kicked up onto the heat exchangers in the tunnel.

I think they added a radiator up front.

I can imagine this is something like the early prototypes BRP started with when developing the Spyder. The VSS system was deemed necessary no doubt from prototypes rolling over in testing, though we'll never be told this by BRP. Converting sleds into trikes without any kind of control would invite risky behaviors leading to injuries & deaths that bring lawsuits. Just human nature pure & simple. Another thing is equipment included with the kit. Is there a front brake system, rotors, calipers, brake lines & master cylinder? Or a brake light switch connected to that? What about turn signals or rear view mirrors? A lot is involved in making a safe street legal vehicle these days.

Well they sure aren't much to look at! Yuk!

And a week to do the conversion either way... and that price tag! Yikes! :yikes:

Jusy by a Spyder and park the snowmobile during the summer months and the Spyder during the winter months and be happy. :ohyea:

Wait til you have one of these then you can get up on the edge of your racks while turning.

Wesll, who had pics of leaning bikes for years on the net, announced earlier last year that they would not be persuing the bikes and instead eleased a render of a tilting snow mobile.

Id take the tilting Spyder and add ski's the the front and a track at the back of it so you can ride year round if snow is your issue!!
