Three wheels motorcycle concept

Looks great in CGI and on paper, If they looking for sponsors though look elsewhere.


I am still waiting for my Quadski...... That I want

Or wheelie

Yeah, I can hear the banter already: "You lifted the front wheel AND the middle wheel?? DUUUDE!!!!!!!!

 

[Ranger]

Looks like you would lose your foot if it slipped off into that center wheel.???

 

[BigSimp]

What would you gain by having the 3rd wheel?

 

[skydivr]

It might really hang in a turn on the track; if Rossi went out and won the MotoGP with it, you know we'd all be lining up to buy one!

Looks interesting.
Your toes are pretty close to the drive sprocket.
If centrifugal force is what helps keep a bike upright in the corners, that thing should be 50% better than 2 wheels.

I don't see the advantage of three wheels. It wouldn't help with much in the way of directional input. Friction is independent of surface area. If you took a corner too fast it might keep you upright. Even that is a moot point because the guard rail will still get overly friendly with the side of your bike, you will just be vertical when it happens. I like after all 2>4 or 3 for that mater.

why

Exactly! I can point to every part of my Busa and tell ya what its for. If I had that bike... Not so much.

Or 25% less than 4.

Interesting exercise in engineering CAD but I don't see the problem this 'solution' would address...Hmmm

 

[ibified]

Yeah im gonna have to pass too. I dont wanna look animated anyway.

 

[t-minus]

three is a crowd

 

[trekfuel]
