1) This video is of the prototype only. For more info and for pictures of the final build visit the website that is at the end of the video and in the video description.

2) This video is of the very first run out of the shop and so THE TOE IN AND SUSPENSION WERE NOT SET UP! We were trying to beat the rain.

3) The turning radius is very tight considering that it is a rack and pinion. It is almost as tight as a vehicle with a steering box.

4) It actually handles as well as a Formula Atlantic car.

5) To hear the engine sound without music please see the "Stealth Tryke #2" under related videos section ---->

6) We are currently working on a twin turbo'ed Busa version with a dual flux capacitor as an optional add-on.

understeer? :/

[yzmotoxer807]

Yes. Once again this was the first test ever and so there was no setup yet. After we adjusted the suspension and anti roll bar the understeer completely went away.

May I suggest you at least try a largish heavy wall tube in place of the roll bar as the roll bar but eliminating all roll as a test? Anyway, good luck with it, nice to see some different vehicles around the place.

[yzmotoxer807]

For this inaugural test run there was no anti-roll bar in place and this was the reason for the handling characteristics that you see in this video. I have met Jim Musser and got to see his sportcycle first hand. I am not at all impressed with his anti-roll bar setup. He was looking to achieve one thing and I another. This tryke is comparable in handling to a Formula Atlantic car in its current state. Hooking up the anti-roll bar brought this vehicle to life.

why music? WHY?

[BoggyCreekFilms]

Cool vehicle, but how about turning the music down so we can hear it?

[petergriffintubin1]

ok so how did you get reverse to work? looks like a cbr motor mabey?

[kevingarneau]

I would still take the dinosaur instead, at least the T-rex looks good, not to mention it is street legal.

@yzmotoxer807 Lol. diggin the flux capactor. Would tell people it needed cleaned all the time in my shop.

[ricerfred]

oh.. this video sure needed a theme song!~ utter shit!! goofy wide looking machine. go pick up the stickers you just tossed out on the road

@Justus331 Even the Morgan three wheeler was considered a trike, and sometimes a "cycle car", so the label will probably apply here. Basically trike, just means three wheels.

[hobbyguy]

why does it have such an extreme long wheelbase?? Your turns are very wide. imho it's far too long for just one person

[NP535overdrive]

cool trike, but it looks heavy. it probably isnt tho..

[hlascano2002]

;'''Nice!!!! but safet first!!!! to protect the driver. too bad with all the size (like a car) only one person can be in it at one time. Almost not practical, for that matter a conventional motorcycle is more of a practical application (with a passenger). Good Luck otherwise you are a GEnius!.

[hlascano2002]

;'\

[Justus331]

Yeah....it has 3 wheels..... but is it really a trike? Normally a trike would have handlebars.... once you put a steering wheel, it then becomes a cart or a car-like vehicle.
