Jetrike In Action - Gravel Road Circuit

Hopefully this will give you some idea of how Jetrike rides. In the video I am riding Jetrike around the research station, reaching speeds of 37kmh and cornering at 22kmh (in two places) on a 2km loose gravel circuit. The road is a single lane and all the corners are at right angles, so I really had to lean hard not to end up in the cane fields!

Jetrike is a front wheel drive tilting delta trike that features self-centering geometry. I use it to commute to work on a daily basis.

sory throtle

[whpthomas]

No throttle, that's just the gear shifter. I has three shifters, front and back derailleurs along with an internal Sachs planetary gear hub (with drum brake). So there are two thumb shifters, and one grip shift.

All power is from the pedals!

@mjt11860 depends on the person on it. its a human powerd bike. meaning the humans limits is how fast it can go. so put fat albert on it it will crush. put superman on it and it takes off. and everything inbetween. is that a good enof answer

but a 125cc dirtbike motor on it then you could have some serious fun. very cool though I wish I had one.

[mjt11860]

what's the fastest it will go? very cool!!

[Discombobulification]

I'll just as soon stick to my road bike, that thing looks really awkward.

I'd like to take a moment to laugh at what the CMOS camera lag does to pedaling legs. Jello legs! Great looking trike - really looks like a reasonable alternative to short rec. bikes.

Winter is coming to Sweden and it's starting to get icy on the roads. I so want a trike since it would feel safer (I guess it suck when wet though?)

Is the final plans far away? Could anyone recommend a very nice trike for the money (for city usage, so preferably quite easy rolling and fast.) I'm not rich so not insane amounts, like max 1000 euro or such.
