Would you buy one?

Post by IainD »

From Tokyo Motor Show (via BBC).

"Kawasaki's J Three Wheeler EV Concept tricycle is steered by using levers that extend out of its front two wheels."

Nice use of the ubiquitous Kawasaki Green

The idea is to have different riding modes, low down sport or high up commute.

The high up looks a bit dangerous, you will head-butt the ground before you catch your crotch on the tank when Mr Volvo pulls out in front of you!

While I like the idea of leaning trikes I really don't like this one. My wife's looked at the Piaggio MP3 as a way for us to ride together, she has balance issues, but we couldn't work out where to stash her wheelchair.

I think I would rather head butt the ground than hit my nuts on the tank :pinch: where there's no sense there's no feeling (thumbs)

cheers Spud ;)
