    Interesting concept machine. Too many choices, not enough years left.

    Default Treycycle

    Just watched the video. I live in Melbourne, hadn't heard about this. Cool, however at $31K each, it will likely be a niche buy. V-8
    engine but need a motorcycle endorsement to drive. A few years ago, I say a Thunderbird in the Georgia welcome area that had been converted to front wheel trike. Also cool, fellow said he spent around $10K. It will be interesting to see what else the ex-NASA types come up with. After the moon program went away, one of the engineers invented the Gheenoe a better idea for a canoe type boat, he's still in business in Titusville.

    I visited their website treycycle.com. The v-8 isn't available yet. They are building 6 cyl model now. Various options including 2 seat version.

    Well there you go then! See if you can talk them into letting you put it through its paces and give us the full report...
    I really wasn't paying a lot of attention as to whether or not this was a prototype or a finished product... If it's ready for sale; then they DO have some issues...

    Seems like a handful of NASA engineers could have come up with something more sophisticated than a girder front end. Heck, my 47 Indian had one of those, and so did my Harley Servicar. I wonder what the fancy version would cost?

    We've got to remember; these engineers weren't smart enough to build necessity into their programs. That's why they're now building trikes... ( And it ain't even nuclear-powered!)

    I think this 600hp trike would get the job done and look much cooler doing it.

    Default Three Wheel

    I didn't care for it much. Looks like the Stallion, but in a longer stretched out version and much lower to the ground. I'm quite happy with my SpYder, but to each to their own.
