A leaning trike you say? Surely not?

This is the Hobbs R8, a prototype based around a Monkey bike that has been designed to prrove that it is possible to build a trike that leans in to corners like a normal bike.

@BASTEH99 even though it's far more stable if it leans...

a fixed base trike has the problem of tipping if a corner is taken too quickly (traditional style)

this one leans into the turn and shifts the center of gravity in the same fashion a motorcycle will do.

if you're really wanting something that turns without tilting, get a car.

if i had the means i would invest in this technology, its a great concept.
