Check out these motorcycles for pilots. The street-legal bikes attach to the belly of small airplanes...it's combined air + ground transportation! Their website is www.MotorcyclePilot.com

@Geistero Shoot, maybe they can come up with a model that turns the "container" into a sidecar. Heck, it looks like it can double as a canoe already.

That girl you had with you routinely clean and jerk motorbikes so you can install front wheels?

That is pretty cool. Very clever.

Grandissimo!!!

Just put a Moped in there HAHAH!

Clever, will work on snowmobiles as well I suspect

Now that's one solution, and quite elegant to boot. Here's another - less practical perhaps but I'm sure if you're both a keen pilot and a keen rider, you'll see the appeal. Search this

what king of bike is it?
chicoescalada 3 years ago
The bike in the video is a modified Yamaha XT-225. We plan to convert other lightweight bikes in the 225-250cc category. These bikes have enough performance to tackle the highways, but they are still light enough for most airplanes to haul.

RV10 is a 4-place aircraft. We need a motorcycle with a sidecar, sorry...:)

The motorcycle has to stay at home when there are more than two of us. However, I rarely fly with more than one passenger so the motorcycle handles most of my needs. Don't have any stats for aircraft, but 1.4 is the average occupancy for a passenger automobile.

Thats pretty cool.Did you alter the airframe to fit?What about hardpoints for mounting, or did you use some sort of load spreading frame?

Great question. The pod comes with a hard-point kit that can be installed by the builder or a mechanic. Basically, some metal brackets and doublers get riveted inside the fuselage belly. These pieces are designed to distribute the loads to the surrounding fuselage structure and they've been load tested to 8 g's.
