i bet i could have some fun with it. i would put the lightest springs on the front that would just hold it up to the right ride height and put the thinest oil i could get for it, then ride it like a motorcycle. you could lean into the turns with it. not likely to work as well as it sounds. well i could always launch it off a cliff and watch it die. one way or another i could have some fun.

Not to mention you can use one to get a motorcycle license without ever having ridden a motorcycle.

It's hard to judge when you've died a horrible, horrible death.

Just because you doubt your ability to ride it, doesn't mean that every one else is going to fail also.

Simply due to the fact that you can attempt to insult someone, doesn't mean you should play out of your league.

And if someone really thinks that they can easily ride that thing, like it's made to be rode, not as a road bike, without ever having any issues, then I say congrats, because you must either be the world's greatest rider, a giant liar, or have massive, moon encompassing, gold plated testicles.

It looks like someone wasted a bunch of time Its stupid in my opinion. If you want to put the power to one wheel you can buy hmmm??? Oh lets call it a DIRT BIKE!!!! I being a little harsh but it was pointless.

Don't get your panties in a bunch. Im not saying that it would be easy to ride. Im just saying that you could try it out and not suffer a " horrible, horrible death."

You guys sound like all the ATV guys bashing on trikes!!!

Sure, it does look a little dangerous, but as with everything lack of riding experience/sensibility is what makes things dangerous.

Would I buy one? Probably not... would I try riding one? FOR SURE!

**3wheely** · 05-03-2011, 10:59 AM

I wonder what a wheely would be like on that thing or if it's possible?

it isn`t bashing on the thing due to it`s questionable safety....safety is something we all don`t give a ratass about or we woulda listened to the CPSC in 86....it`s about a TWIN SMOKER BANSHEE MOTOR POWERING ONE TINY WHEEL AND TIRE TO PUSH A MUCH HEAVIER FRONTEND....have any of you Champions Of Logic tried to drive an empty pickup truck in an ice storm or snowstorm???....same concept...no weight on back end drive wheels with all weight in front on wheels under the motor...not conducive to good handling characteristics....and NO it isn`t like a Can Am spider...have any of you ridden the Spider because I have and it ain`t slapped together with shiny hardware like that Shee-trike half-ass engineered from a daydream some guy once had.....would you convert your hemi cuda to one 13" wheel in the rear and go off to drag race your buddies?...NO
