Hope they don't think they have the whole market. Check out http://www.mp3.piaggio.com/ for a scooter version.

controversy?

Why, do they suddenly explode or something?

Speed chanel did a short preview of this beast. It's powered by a Ford motor and it's not cheap(50,000). I can't remember the exact company, but at that price I'll stick with my Yammy/Voyager rig.

Doesn't look half bad. I am converting a bike of my own to a trike in this configuration (Two front wheels one back) and if all goes well will be offering complete conversions for sale and/or convert other bikes to this layout.

I think the Batman Utility belt has already been spotted... So what IS with the diver's weight belt on the passenger??

Darryl Cannon aka "killboy" said...

I think it's to simulate a heavier passenger...see how the bike acts.

From Jalopnik:

When pics of that unidentified trike -- shot during a burn through Tail of the Dragon -- hit earlier this year, the kids were abuzz. Had BMW taken over Volkswagen's GX3 mantle and built a three-wheeler for the sporting set? Turns out, as the New York Times reported yesterday, the mystery bike was called the Spyder, a product of the Sea/Ski Doo people, Bombardier Recreational Products of Canada. That company relaunched the Can-Am brand this year as a maker of ATVs and this thing. It's powered by a 106-hp V-Twin and comes with traction and stability control and antilock brakes, all for around $15,000. We'll know more when the trike launches officially later this week.
