The idea is bike splits lanes and gets to broken down car (easier and quicker than a tow truck) it tows it far enough out of traffic to free up that lane. Some parts of freeways/bridges dont have emergency lanes for access or to push a broken down car into. Im sure he wont be towing that car nowhere near freeway speeds or very long distances... emergency stopping bays or freeway offramps are enough to get the car out of the way. Excellent solution if you think about it.

Some of you are seeing the glass half empty........instead of posting the "what if's, and what about's" can't you see the benefit of a veh being moved out of your way so you can get to whereever it is you're going? You all need to look at the bright side of things. Like dsa100e6 says, excellen solution if you "really" think about it.

This would be niffty if state police could get cars off to the side so traffic could keep moving until a TOW TRUCK arrives.

i would love to see that tow a smashed vehicle with a broken axle. , since he wasn't using strops i'm sure if he brakes hard or get hit from behind its would be so dangerous.. how about if the car was 4wd. i realise the weight of the car is on the front wheel so the motor bike is only pulling with little weight on the back wheels. the front wheel has a low speed rating so it would not be designed for high mileage or motorway use..

@bmwonice You can see the brakes on the extender wheels half way through video.

Hummmmm Doesn't look to safe as others on here have pointed out. I bet this thing can't take sharp turns at 50 miles or even 30 miles.....?

@MrMrtiki Maybe you don`t have the river clay we get around here that gets plunked on our roads it gets wet & turns to grease ;I was just thinking that the time it takes to registure that the guy in front done an emergency stop and the time it takes to put the enursha of this bike with extra weight behind at stop with this clay , Plus we get a caterpillar infestation on our highways at times I pull a trailor on a goldwing sorry I just think it`s a bad idea even if it works.
