Ok I put this on the Flytheroadnow forum but felt it belonged here too so people here could see it!

It reminds me of a Dodge Tomahawk concept! I really dig this thing but I wish it had a bigger motor!

here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/wow-new-concept-scooter-no-reserve_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ270256278315QQsspag enameZRSSQ3aBQ3aSRCHQ3aUSQ3a101

Hey Big D, do you think you can get this in with a 250cc motor? Personally, something that looks like this should have at least a 400cc in my opinion, but I would settle for 250cc!

MM89; I'm not sure if this is for Adults or a 'kids pocket 'rocket''.
Dimensions are: 67" x 27" x 29" with a seat height of 20". It definately is NO TOMAHAWK!

Oh man that sucks I didn't do the conversion on the mm to inches I didn't realize it was so small!!r:a:n:t:2:101

[Miracleman89]

Alrighty then fine how about this?

It is made by adiva and although currently a concept it is called the To 400 and this could be a great commuter vehicle. 400cc engine that is plenty of pep and it will definitely get you down the highway!

MM89; the 3-wheels have an advantage of better braking and stability, but the 400cc, although nice on the highways, defeats much of the economy of a 150-250cc scooter. I believe the 'ticket' will be the Piaggio MP3 Hybrid (with 250-400cc POWER, some type of 'covering' [ala' VogueOne or Adiva]) getting 100mpg+. But of course, those are 2-3 years away, and will cost 2-4 times what BMC's 150cc 'convertible' sells for.

I think this scooter is a good choice for today's "gas plagued' commuters, and they can be 'driving' it in a month or two. (Not waiting YEARS for something like the Venture Vehicles V~1 to get here.)

I like that reverse trike with a roof. I would buy that in a heartbeat if they made them now, and they didn't cost too much! With 400cc it gives the power you need to get around on the highways, and it would still get pretty darn good gas mileage.

I agree with rog also..... We need something NOW. The scooter he posted above is available NOW and gets around 85 to 95 miles per gallon. It's only 150cc though. There's always a give and take in these kind of things!

I just thought it was cool and interesting! Also I thought you might even be interested in doing some business with that company and bring a maxxi scooter to the BMC line up. I also thought that others on this forum would be curious about other tilting three wheelers!

Venus Wars FTW. Its an Anime movie from the 90's Here is a pic, http://farm1.static.flickr.com/173/391691011_1563e1a637.jpg?v=0 , of the military version. The street versions had a single wheel or a 2+1 configuration. If you care to watch the movie there is a good shot near the end of the 3 wheel version. Some Canadian kid made a version of the Segway with this thing as a design base. Pretty cool. Hellishly hard to ride well and fast, yes. But cool none the less.

This one too, interestingly enough it is also based on the carver. http://www.3wheelers.com/phiaro.html

Yes, Ziggy, Ian even had a video of this driving around the track, posted on YouTube. Perhaps a [search] of 'Phiaro' will bring up more info on this site.

Ooops, that one was from Ian's "DEAD" account. Guess I'll have to search YouTube.

This is a test. This is only a test....if it were a real emergency.....
A friend sent me this animated interior of an airbus A380 cockpit. Hope it
works for you at this web address: www.gillesvidal.com/blogpano/cockpit1.htm (http://www.gillesvidal.com/blogpano/cockpit1.htm)
Just thought how cool it would be to have a V1 interior 360 shot like this, virtual
or otherwise. Warning....you may need an air sickness bag if you fly around inside
the cockpit too long!
