    It has merits for a bike rider who can't ride bikes anymore (my pal who
    broke his back, for instance) or for someone who wants, but can't afford
    something like the Ariel Atom. It has "some" potential I reckon.
    It's the arse end that lets it down, for certain.

    No it isn't. I can applaud the concept, but it looks like a bike has
    been rammed up the chuff of a single-seat racing car caught at the
    lights. I think a little more thought in the design and detail stages
    could easily have produced a simple to build trike, with a bike rear
    end all clothed in GRP and a single seat front end offering driver
    accommodation. I mean, FFS, take the bloody seats off and extend the
    GRP shrouding over the tank and blend it into the bike rear plastics
    at least.

    Having said that, the addition of the lights to the front end looks
    gash - the pod lights on the aerofoils at the front and especially the
    single headlight look bloody awful. The rear indicators would
    struggle to pass SVA as they're mounted too far forward from the
    rearmost point to my eyes.

  9. Oh dear; what a cack back end idea. I've seen similar with much better
    rear ends.

    Still, it's good for an additional passenger if anyone was daft enough
    to use it.
