Who needs a new truck? (motorcycle)
 
Found this on ebay, looks interesting, new and a 2 year warranty.
It goes 50MPH and up to 72 mpg, I know some of you guys could break
100mpg easy with this puppy. It might need a couple of aero mods.

I think that would be perfect for someone with a local street commute and "something to advertise". If you put 70+ MPG on the side of it, people would believe you. It looks a lot like the Zenn electric trucks. Or maybe a gardener's mini truck for large campuses.

It looks like a Cushman.

It looks like something Mr. Bean would bump out of parking spaces with his mini.

(What was that 3 wheeled little blue van anyway?)

Is it street legal?

sipnciv 09-18-2007 05:56 AM

Yes street legal!(motorcycle)
 
The link to the ebay ad is below the pic for anyone who wants all
the details.
I called Tom from the ad. He said it is street legal and will be registered
as a motorcycle.
Sorry about the misinformation, it's not a truck but a motorcyle.
I guess you need a motorcycle license.
Lots more pics on the link.

I'd be afraid of hitting the brakes in a turn in that thing.
Trikes are safest with a single wheel in the back.

Took the words out of my mouth. I've never been a fan of delta trikes for the road... In an emergency what do you do? Brake and steer. Bad combo for a delta trike :thumbdown:

lol thast why they outlawed 3 wheelers. too tippy! a good gust of wind and an over correction could bea very bad, especially if your in a tin can like that.

Nonsense! The trike is perfect for emergency maneuvers! You brake and steer, and the trike rolls over to the side. Before you know it, you are two lanes over, out of the way of the emergency and still going! :p :D

Ha! AND, you'll be the first to the scene of the crash :thumbup: I'll bet you'll even beat the ambulance and police :D
