For all us old buggers...

[Moi]

As so many of us seem to have failing bits 'n' pieces... but we still want / need to ride...

I'd have one.

[willytheekid]

Wheelies!...if it does them, sign me up!:niceone:

(That would be awesome...I could cut straight through hagley park...and everything else!:eek:)

Cheers for sharing Moi :D

[Zedder]

Great stuff, I'd be keen. Not that I'm old though...Tui!

[Robbo]

That is cool, I'd have one. Is the bike self levelling or do you use your body to control and maintain the upright position?

[Motu]

They need to apply that to quad bikes...it might save a few farmers lives.

Pertinent indeed.

Wonder what happens when it runs out of travel?

Was theory designing one similar a few years back for a streamlined trike and did similar mechanisms (no suspension). See how the body dips when he rocks it side to side, reckon that means it'll have a small self centering force due to its own weight, but for the rest it'll handle like a single tracked vehicle with the wheels on each side pivoting about a virtual center wheel track.

Here's their website (http://www.wesll.com/)... interesting concepts and thinking...

Cheers Moi, very interesting technology. I wonder how long before we see this in the marketplace in NZ.

[Banditbandit]

Yeah ... Naaa .. I may have reached three score years - but I'm not that old yet ..

Very interesting and looks like great fun for a wide range of ages.

[OddDuck]

I'd be keen to go offroad with one - looks pretty good for tearing it up on the loose stuff.

Agree with your sentiments... when the present heavy weights I ride are too heavy for me I'll be likely to move to lighter weight bikes... BUT, that thing is something else... and I like the thinking behind it... would be fun...

When I'm driving in the car listening to a CD and Delbert McClinton sings,"I ain't old but I've been around a long time," it seems appropriate.

[Moi]

... "I ain't old but I've been around a long time," ...

The mind says 'Go for it!' but the next day the body says 'Serves you right!'...

Seemed to be doing fine in that river bed it was ridden through, along, and across... :facepalm:

[pete-blen]

there was a post somewhere "ADV rider maybe" of a guy
that built a front end along those lines for his XR600...
reverse trike with a leaner front...

Pretty cool hopefully by the time i get to own one of those 4 wheel scooter things that will come standard,imagine the trip home from the mens club on a saturday night.:Punk:

Good question. It wasn't really addressed in the video but I'd say it would be in the engineering.
