I'm undecided if I like it or not but have to give an A for effort and originality Smile

That was on Top Gear a while back. Looks like it's been left too close to a fire. Laughing

Motorcycle...

Sports car..

With our powers combined we become..

Terr-or. All the weather protection of a motorcycle, all the weight and aerodynamics of a sports car with none of the handling.

Any pictures of the other side of the thing? I'd be interested to see how they've kept it looking like a car with a single wheel.

although they don't really show much.
Found some info on the project here that shows the sidecar being constructed that gives the view you want...

Ha - sort of half way between a sidecar and a Bond Bug.

Don't see a massive market for it, but kudos to the guy for his attention to detail.

I think it looks well sweet,

if they can set the controls up so it can be driven from inside the chair (incase it rains) I'd buy one tomorrow
