The only thing I don't like about it is the 3 chains and 4 sprockets between the transmision and the drive wheel. Though with that configuration it would be hard to do it any other way, shafts would have too many universals at too sharp an angle, and hydraulic or electrical motors for power transfer would be to heavy and bulky. |

There was something similar to this in development, that actually seemed practical, back in 2006. Not sure what became of it, the company site is gone and I don't see any current news articles.

Very cool bike
It would be pointless to get low on this bike, the seat looks like i can cruise on it. But the handle bar plus seat arrangement looks awkward. If you want to knee drag, get a 600; liter bike would work too. Still rather have a tomahawk. |

That would actually be on par with a Bugatti Veyron, I think it should read 250km/h
which isn't that hard to reach with a Sportsbike 600cc engine Quote:
on the rear wheel, the only thing you'll do is stretch the chain till it snaps Quote:
4 wheels, designed and built by a car manufacturer, it has 4 wheels, a car engine, looks like ass and has 4 wheels not to mention a $500,000 pricetag when noone EVER did more with it than can be seen in it's promotional vid A godawefull paperweight, I'd rather drive a $1,000,000 Reliant
