• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Details are sparse for the three-wheeled design, which looks something like a hybrid of the Can-Am Spyder and BMW C1 scooter.

Kind of cool.... I like how the windshield becomes a canopy to enclose the cockpit while parked.
 
Pretty neat! Might just be all the bodywork uo high, but the wheel base looks a little short to be very stable. If it makes it to production, Im sure it will be TOTALLY different. Very few concepts make it to production without major changes. Just the nature of the beasts.
 
Interesting. I like Honda stuff - would like them to come out with something a little sinister looking though. That looks more like a little scooter.
 
Don't wait for this, it's just a concept I have seen it before and we all know it will never come to market. Don't know why waist the money and time making these awesome looking machine that never go into production spend the money and time and produce a realistic model that can be made for sale.

They're just raising it up the flag pole to see who salutes it.
But supposedly BMW took a wheel off of a 4 wheeler that's legal in Europe and bringing it here as a reverse trike, Late this year or early next year.
 
It would be interesting to see some more options in the reverse trike type that is ridden not driven. I really like that the Spyder experience is out in the open.

I wondered that too-- but maybe the front wheels articulate like those Carver's do? Considering it's electric and small, I think it's really aimed at the scooter market... not that they'll ever really make these.

my grandfather always said, "if you throw a rock into a pigpen, the one that squeals the loudest is the one that got hit"...they are looking for the noise

I was intrigued, but my daughter walked by and said, "It's ugly. It's so ugly."

(Oh well. Seeing as how the Spyder had to get her approval before it came to live in our garage, I guess I won't be trading it in on a 3R-C...)
