Ecomobile, my first "wheels up" in this fast enclosed feet forward motorcycle

[nestofdragons]

mpg are good for this fast thing. About 40 or less mpg (US). Good crash safety, because you are sitting INSIDE your own helmet. It uses the same materials as a helmet. Very rigid structure. Go see my site to see more action videos. (3xw) * nestofdragons * net (replace * by dot).

I assume the gas mileage on it is terrible? nd it just looks as if I were to need a emergency stop I would die or one little wreck and i dead..

[WiiAreSIN]

@JustinBlack1990 There's actually improved gas mileage since it only runs 2 wheels. There's even electric ones now.

[nestofdragons]

@WiiAreSIN Sadly the electric ones are way out of my budget.

[WiiAreSIN]

@nestofdragons Yeah, we'll just ave to wait a decade or so

[lokesh62]

Another issue is that it is INCREDIBLY LOUD !

[nestofdragons]

@lokesh62 Sorry about that noise. Reason: my exhaust still has a hole to be fixed. Hopefully the newer videos will be with the fixed exhaust.

I just don't think I'd feel safe driving that. I assume the MPG is amazingly high to even consider it.

The one issue: The wheels will clip a nearby car when you slow down. Every time you slow down, you'll smack someone. Because, they think you're in a motorcycle. They don't know you have immense training wheels about to smash into them.

[nestofdragons]

@zume I never had any problems with my Harley that somebody parked that close to me. Besides ... most people will stay a bit at distance of you as you will be a thing they don't recognise or don't understand. :) The thing that might happen so they will come very very close is when they take their protable to film you and forget all about steering their car. :)

Oi! Paul! Get yer thumb outta the frame! :D

Good job Koen!

[nestofdragons]

@mephitstophilis Thanks for the compliment. :)

How do you balance something like that? Because with a regular motorbike all you do is lean because the vehicle isn't THAT much heavier than you but with half a ton what can you do?

[nestofdragons]

@myshoescramp steering is all something you know but never thought about it. It is called countersteering. Just try it on your motorbike ... on a wide street. Sit upright, ride along a straight line and push the left handlebar. You will notice what happens. Is not what you expected at first. Well ... i can steer like you do, but it takes more time to make a turn. Using countersteering makes it all very easy. Anyway ...it is something you need to get used to. Feels strange at first.
