If it's manoeuvrable and can be fitted with lights, etc, I see no reason why it shouldn't be used on a road. cheers, Luke -- Red Rose Ramblings, the diary of an Essex boy in exile in Lancashire <http://www.shrimper.org.uk> |

Re: How long would you last alive on a bike like this?
These have actually been around for quite a while. I had a similar vehicle
made by another manufacturer. In theory, it was a great idea, until one day I had to drive it off the nice, flat road that runs in front of my house. Even with the full-throttle calf power of myself and my wife, we couldn't get up even a tiny hill without gasping for breath and wailing in pain. Looking at this picture got me psyched to own one again. However, as Luke said, I think I would approach it as less of a local transporation vehicle and more of a toy to bring to the local park. The only problem is, it costs as much as that new two-seater automobile they're selling in India! |

And "knobby street tread"? We considered one of their single-seater models briefly as the basis for the music system on our skates <http://www.lfns.co.uk/bike> but went with the Brox Compact instead: lighter, more options for mounting stuff on the back, and marginally easier to get hold of in the UK. > People unable to hold balance on a two-wheeler have better designs > (trikes) at their disposal than this. I think a four-wheeler is probably still harder to roll than a three-wheeler. The Brox has an articulation point in the middle, so it tends to keep three wheels on the ground most of the time when a rigid frame might suffer on humps, dips, potholes etc. -dan |
