They're all going the wrong way!! And it doesn't look like the pair of front wheels steer either - all the vids show them steering the BACK wheel... but I guess that's cos they're going the wrong way....


Not for me thanks! I might be annoyed by the poor execution of some of the great concepts in our Spyders, but I'm not ever going back to any trike with a front/steer wheel like that! Those things're unsafe at any speed!

Interesting platform, but like Peter and Mike, they are not my cup of tea, two in the front for me!!!

Hard to imagine any existing 'biker' wanting a machine that large and unwieldly. Maybe there's a few newbies in the USA that don't understand the physics of a standard trike in cornering and braking.

[old Timer]

Wonder if it has a differential for the rear axle???? Ugly for sure, heavy and probably unwieldy.

I think I might go for that trike over the HD trike. Around my neck of the woods, there are several of the same style home built trikes using the VW motor and rear suspension system. Some are very impressive rides that seat two passengers side by side. They appear to be popular among older hog riders. It takes a lot of wrenching to build one of those.

At $50K? No thanks, my pockets ain't nearly that deep, and the thing is butt ugly anyway.

Designed as a trike, not an add-on to a bike. German engineering. If I was interested in a trike, I'd consider it over any others. But, I'm not.

[Valkrocket]

That thing is Ginormous. Too much so for me. And, as a second opinion it is fugly. In it's favor........it does have three wheels.

[JayBros]

Good starting design for a dump truck or small concrete mixer.

[EdMat]

Well...................it's different!

[BajaRon]

I don't know why it is. Maybe they look better in person. But they always remind me a a big mower without the deck...

I like it, what was the recent thread everyone was replying too about having no trouble converting from one bike to another. Nothing too it, but oh no I couldn't ride one of these within it's limits, wth! Harden up you guys what next, not climate change friendly

[Quickdraw]

Looks like a big wheel and I can tell you, big wheels and I didn't get along when I was a kid. I didn't buy a HD trike because of it's non-safety factors. I like my Spyder. No worrying about corners or turns and due to the power steering, no need to fight the steering.

I have been looking at Rewaco trikes on YouTube and I like what I'm seeing. There is a Rewaco dealer in Fort Meyers, Florida and one of these days I intend to ride down there to get an up close and personal look at them. I know they are a lot more expensive than my Spyder RT LTD, but everybody that owns a Rewaco raves about the performance, storage and reliability of those trikes. TCRS = Take Care, Ride Safe.

If I sat in one of those, I would have to have a crane on call at every stop to get me out of the seat

Nice to see a manufacturer / dealer do that.

Cobwebs, true story……..I was once told by a disability evaluator, who was passing and saw me struggling to get into my car as the car next to me had parked on, rather than in, the car spot lane markings, that they could get me a disability sticker so I could park in a disability spot so I could get into my car without issue. Sometimes you wonder.

Yeah, sometimes you DO wonder!

My Father, who in his prime would've made you look like an emaciated rake, Pete; in his later years had all sorts of mobility issues courtesy of his Service to our Country, but couldn't get a Disability Permit thru DVA for any or all of them, nor could he get one despite the strongest of recommendations from ALL his Doctors on the grounds of his 'service related injury mobility issues', but when his GP cracked a weed and in a very irate phone call to the 'issuing authority' (a small minded bureaucrat exercising his 'ability to reject' to its fullest extent! ) said GP juuust happened to mention Dad's size & weight, the Disability Permit was issued immediately!!

And today, 40 odd years later, I still run into that bloody bureaucrat's descendants in the DVA & elsewhere on a daily basis!

But even if I didn't, I still wouldn't own one of these Rewaco trikes! Nor any other conventional trike for that matter!

How would an ecu controlled rear brake nanny to steer into the corner go do you think? Possible aftermarket opportunity.

On them as designed/intended, with 2 wheels at the back?? I dunno, could be possible maybe, but viable?? Who knows?

But if they tried to use them the way I (tongue in cheek ) suggested, with the single steer wheel at the back, then I reckon it'd be a REALLY interesting exercise to actually develop the sensor & control suite to manage braked steering assist with 2 non-turning but braked front wheels and a turning steer wheel at the rear, and then try to make something like that work well, but probably wouldn't achieve it in a way that'd be anywhere NEAR viable as a commercial opportunity!!

Have you ever seen a Rear-Steer Fork-Lift modified for racing? I have, even driven one; but realized pdq that there's a pretty good bunch of reasons there's no competition like Drift, Sport Sedans, V8 Super Cars or F1 Racing for them, and why there's not a great call for such a competition either!!

Mind you, it was a lot of FUN... in fits & spurts, but aside from a few very brief spurts of traveling upright in any direction, all the contenders spent a lot of time lying on their sides waiting to be stood upright again.... From that experience, I'd suggest that relying on rear steer, with or without computer controlled braking assist on the non-steering front wheels for a relatively short wheel-based high CoG wheeled vehicle and traveling at any sort of speed would tend to make for a great time if you're into playing 'Dead Ants'.... but not much else! For those who've never played that particular game, it involves a whole lot of lying on your back waving your feet & arms in the air, and not really too much else!!
