for christs sake it looks like a kiwi (as in the land based bird) with wheels, which is a real sickener because it makes my emu quad bike just look derivitive.
back to the drawing board

The 1st and 3rd photos looks like someone had too much spare time with a motocross helmet and odds and ends...

Personally, I reckon it's a bad idea - for Tourism? What, for tourists to ride round NZ in? Yikes.

Beyond suspect and out the other side. AND it's against securities law. Long story short: Invest in these guys and if it goes tits up you get to claim your cash back from the directors. Personally.
Idiots.

Mmmm - a powered parachute - but that would be fun riding around Palmy on a windy day.

80kph cross wind would do it.

Ah no i can see it now, see new zealand from the comfort of the kiwi trike, you'll want the arms of a gorilla and a neck like a jockeys bollocks and the fact that your only 3 inches off the asphalt will mean you'll see bog all anyways. Maybe thay can do an extreme sports version, complete the coast to coast on the kiwi trike!!

To me it looks like he's spent about 5 minutes sketching something and then asking $10,000 for it :wacko: . Odd. Why doesn't he put up proper drawings?
It would be much better if it didn't have that rediculous fork assembly obscuring your vision. I quite like the back half of it though, it's just those hidious forks that stick out for mile. :wacko:
Where is the motor going to go?
I also don't think $10 k is nearly enough to build something like that, unless he already has tools, a workshop and most of the materials.
EDIT: I agree with your parachute comments. Crazy.

intresting idea.
Yeah - and it would look way cool if done right , but I don't think i'd want to get in/on it.
Maybe if it was perforated for wind flow or something.
