I love how people think that stuff like this is going to help with the future. Adding the third wheel just adds to the inefficiency of the motorcycle. Either a new motor should be invented or a mono wheel motorcycle that actually works is in our future. And i guess if people choose the mono wheel their just going to have to learn to balance better.
This concept has been successfully developed long before in India, a place called udaipur. you will see an 3 wheel bike in a movie call Golmaal that came out in the year of 2006. So, You fool you are not the first one. Hahahahahahah, you just stole the idea.
the rear wheel has a drive chain, but it's on a pretty bouncy swing arm with no weight on it. does it really provide that much more traction? it just looks like a useless appendage to a normal bike, no offense
For extremly poor roads it might be helpful to have 3 or 4 wheels in a row. Not only 2. Just to really make sure that there is always enough traction.
The concept motorcycle was built to prove the principle of in-line three wheel with two wheel drive two wheel steering and suspension that allows each wheel to move up independently. The concept works as the video shows. This version is not intended for high speed but it is possible to use the third wheel to stabilize instabilities. Thanks to all who have viewed and/or commented on this video.
these bikes work in theory, and it appears that yours actually works, it would be better with the middle tire under you more, but the engineering behind that is a whole other level. I think yours is a sick design. how does it handle at higher speeds, or does it only excel in adverse condidtions?

You could run two different tires/treads to take advantage over changing conditions on the track. One of these would rock in an enduro, but you'd have to chop the weight a lot.
I see this in the Dakar rally in the future. One of the biggest problems is they tend to get stuck in very soft sand. An extra drive wheel should be able to combat this problem because the load is distributed over 3 wheels instead of two.
Do you know that JESUS CHRIST can give you everlasting life ? - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. Turn to Jesus !
Some very creative engineering. A chain driven STEERING wheel, I bow my head with respect! I would like to see a closeup of that! It beats me fair enough! O:-)
Your not proving anything riding in the grass. But at least you didn’t set the third wheel in the middle of the chassis. Now “IF” your third wheel had independent traction to the road it would work. It would be a monster hill climber.
I haven't tried a burnout yet. Smoking the two tyres could double the effect and a two ring donut would be good, but with all that traction it will be difficult to keep the front wheel stationary.
So now you need to steer the rear most wheel also. You must also drive it. I want to see you flat track it with the front wheel turned right and the rear turned left going around a left hand turn.
The two wheel drive provides extra traction which is useful when road conditions are poor. With the rear wheel steering as well as the front, the front wheel is less likely to "wash" out when cornering on poor surfaces, the rear driven and steered wheel helps to turn the vehicle. Why? A similar question was asked about 4x4s!
@clevername333 The reasons for having 4wd on a 4-wheeled vehicle are obvious. The reasons for putting 3 wheels on a motorcycle are anything but. You're comparing apples and oranges.
Not with this one as its too heavy, but perhaps with the next. With the two rear wheels driven it would be a two staged wheelie, front wheel first, then the middle!
Sweet! How does this perform compared to the original? I guess adding the extra wheel at the back makes the front wheel support more of the weight. I guess if you were designing this from scratch you'd try to move the centre of mass back somehow, or move the front wheel forwards, chopper style. Are you still working on this?
I'm assuming increased lateral traction and improved launch traction are the main advantages.
But at the cost of extra weight? And it must make low speed handling difficult.
Great to see people innovating and trying new things though. It's one thing to look at it on paper, but you never really know until you build the thing and try it out. Nice work!
Looks heavy and slow to respond. Also too long.
