    Return of the Three Wheeler?

    http://www.daymak.com/boomerbeast/?g...FZO3wAod3jQJqA


    Proudly made in Canada and ridden without helmets. I wonder if the aftermarket will embrace it?

    Seems like they coulda looked at some 30 year old technology from the big 3 and built something with better suspension.

    Maybe, maybe not. Most of the weight of that bike is in the battery pack which is very low slung on that bike. But I agree cool concept, maybe this will open the doors for more growth.

    Thanks for sharing!

    From the manual "Do not use the escalator, please opt for the elevator"

    I would stroke out if i saw someone trying to ride a 3 wheeler up the escalator in the mall.

    This thing is too cool! I hope it does find a niche like the honda rukus did! Some fenders and a sportier seat would do that thing some good

    I'd buy it just to ride hiking trails

    1982 ATC185
    1983 ATC185s
    1984 ATC200es
    1985 ATC200x

    When the going gets tough, the tough get sideways

    I think when the time comes to need a mobility scooter, i think i'd take the controls, double up that battery pack and spruce up that electric motor and rig it into like a 200x frame or something...then you'd be the talk of the town amongst the elders. Hopefully theres still alot more time to think about that though.

    Yep, that and the low mounted battery pack are the only things keeping sugar high grandpa out of the hospital! Says all wheel drive, so maybe you could lock the diff and go up the escalator with it? The Devils Backbone and a quart of homebrew would make for a good test of its abilities

    I wonder how that battery would fare in a water crossing

    Why not, if it gets seniors out and about then bring it on. Maybe a gun rest/pivot mount is an option? Think of those that don't live in concrete jungles and have to negotiate snow/ice/mud to move about town. I think it's of the off shore variety. I believe I read that its assembled here.

    I've posted this before, but it still seems relevant. https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/s...dd&action=view
