Pic from a ride yesterday with a group of Auckers, trike with hydraulic rear end.

The Auto-focus has selected the indicator.

Looks like my patch - is that the Coromandel Hill? (bit hard to tell from one bend, haha )

Can't see a knee

That's pretty cool. Did you get the plate number? Is it a home built or mass produced job?

Home made I believe & powered by a triumph and very tidy

Is it actually a trike, or an additional 2 wheels on a bike?

Has no cleavage in the pic?

Trike.

He gets extra points if that is a parachute strapped to the back

That's bloody cool.

Do you know if it was an electronic controlled or mechanical system?

Wonder how those flat wheels wear....

It's definitely a bike with the two extra wheels. There is no drive to the outer two wheels so they are being used as stabilizers.
I have seen similar setups where the extra wheels are fixed solid and the bike is like a trike and remains upright when riding.
This one is a great concept as it allows leaning and can be ridden like a normal bike. Great for someone who has a medical condition or injury and cannot ride a normal bike.

There is some weird 'third wheel' thingy for Harleys in the USA where it drives off the standard rear wheel- don't think they lean though.

Read CanAm (SP?) is making their three wheelers lean in the future.

I would think electric over Hydraulic, just a guess though. Same as used in the lizard and menzi mucks I suppose.
