Goblinize your Can-Am Spyder, get strange looks

We're having trouble coming up with an adequate set of adjectives to describe our opinions of the new Goblin WolfSpyder. On one hand, the idea of an enclosed three-wheeled vehicle that's capable of returning excellent fuel mileage and performance is intriguing. On the other hand, this is one incredibly ridiculous looking vehicle that offers little reason to justify its nearly $20,000 price tag (plus optional heat, air conditioning and overhead canopy) on top of the $15,449 Can-Am Spyder donor vehicle.

If you do happen to enjoy its cringe-inducing looks – complete with non-functional rear wing that Goblin claims "may improve visible appearance in traffic" – and you happen to think it's worth the asking price (seriously?), you can order the kit now and see it on your doorstep via the friendly neighborhood UPS man in 12-18 weeks.

They are actually manufacturing these? It looks like a photoshopped picture to me.

I think they are serious about making this "vehicle". There is a link to a real web site.

Maybe we :spyder2:lovers can all chip in and buy one for BajaRon so Lamonster can capture the beast when it shows up via UPS. :yikes:

That is a photo shopped picture if I ever saw one. Airplane parts grafted together with canam sports car front fenders the parts don't even match on the line-up. I don't know anything about this company it you look at the rest of the products they are recumbant bikes. I am not saying they would take your money and run just that this is a photoshop photo. It does however point out that some people would probably like a bike that they could drive in any weather. More of a three wheel car than a three wheel bike. If it has three wheels its a motorcycle and the manufacturer does not have to do a lot of the things a car manufacturer would have to do. At some point someone will step in and have to make a determination of what is a three wheel bike and what is a three wheel car.:gaah:
