Now that looks like a three wheeler, that would ride and handle like a two wheeler. Would be interested in a test ride.

That is without a doubt the best three wheeler concept I have ever seen.

It is becasue it still rides like a two wheeled cycle, wiht the advantage of three wheels.

Better concept than the CANAM Spyder I believe, we'll see.

That should work.

What seems to be nice is he is working on it to fit different bikes. so you could possibly convert a Valk, and wouldn't have to go the trike route

Sorry to rain on the parade, Piaggio in Europe have had a scooter like this on the market for the last four years. See about it here. It hasn't sold in large numbers but that's not to say an aftermarket add-on for any bike wouldn't sell. It will be interesting to see how it develops.

Doesn't look like any activity on this since 2008.
But I'm going to look at one of these next week:

I have talked to this man before, lives near me, interesting bike, was thinking of looking at this more. I did get his business at the time, was a couple of years ago now. I did like what I saw, looks like fun and he did say at the time he was going to adapt it to other bikes as the need arose. May go up and see if he is still doing this now that the economy took a dump.
