You don't see these very often

I think cornering would be interesting, don't brake just accererate. A bit like driving a plastic pig, slow in fast(relatively) out. It does look nice though.

Interesting. I wonder by how much it will reduce drive belt life?
Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'! :lol:

Been riding for 55 years & owned too many bikes to list here...

Didn't think of that did wonder how it was all connected to the final drive cogs though. That diff looks wierd thogh it sll looks very professional though,plenty of stopping power on he rear wheels.

I really don't understand these.

Steering forces will be insane. The gymnastics required to deal with it really really not wanting to turn will not be fun. Can't filter, can't carry any more than standard scooter. Will be a swine to insure and the MOT will be a farce if they are clueless. Acceleration will be no better than a small car. Maintenance will be more intensive.

I've had sidecar outfits. The ability to take your dog and loads of camping gear and not worry about snow balances the other stuff to some extent. I suppose if you were struggling with lower body strength, upper body was OK and all your mates had 125cc scooters it would make some sense, but that's a really specific want.

Likewise I've always assumed these were just out riggers for peopl with disabilities of one sort or another. If for any reason I was to have trike it would have to have a lot of luggage space. I have only ridden/driven one and it was fun to drive.
