One of the 'Men In Black' franchises had a scene where the characters rode similar contrivances, except this one is real and not CGI. Kewl!
I wonder where he got that tire.
On a regular two wheel bike I would always get a mud streak up my back (bobbed fenders were cewl). With that motorcycle and no fenders, I would guess a mud stripe the whole way around. :lol:
Another question: How does the thing steer? Hugh, is there a site that gives more info on it?
And no cup holder for your beer.
Hah, it was invented by an Italian. Figures...

Looking at the linkage from the steering wheel, it appears that what happens is when the wheel is turned, it moves the rider in or out of the center of the big wheel causing his weight shift to steer the device.
Of course, I could be full of shit, too.
This might the one time you aren't. It's either how you describe or turning the steering wheel causes the bit wheel to tilt, accomplishing the same thing.Quote:
