Is this design even possible?

[Alexio]

And by possible I suppose I mean functional and practical. Would you ride something like this?

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

[imanupstart]

Erm, I'll have to say no on that one

[Ichy]

Everything is possible, sometimes we just don't know how.

Nothing that hasn't been tried before, centre hub steering controlled by levers is so 1980's, the rest just looks meh, nothing new.

I wouldn't ride that one, I would prefer a shorter design with a more prone position, something more like a Vyrus 987 c4.

You'd probably have to upgrade your disk lock.

Some of these wacky looking bikes do come up with engineering ideas that eventually appear on mainstream bikes.

The harpoon things would be a strong contender

I don't know how this steers

[Frost]

Yeah thats the bat bike. Apparently it was surprisingly maneuverable, however they only ever found 1 stunt rider who could actually ride the thing, so i'd say it's far too hard for the likes of us!

[Slim1664]

The bike in the first pic kinda reminds me of a pod racer from starwars.

[c_dug]

The first picture looks like a good basis for a 2 wheel drive shafty assuming a universal joint would allow enough movement for steering suspending and also powering the bike?

Is it possible to run to shafts at 180 degrees to each other from an engine?
