OK---- do you licence and insure it as a car---or a motorcycle---or both.
Double the tag fees and double the insurance.

steering and driving wheels in line and a third wheel off to one side makes it a sidecar rig.
In North America at least, you'd drive it on a motorcycle licence and that's how it would be tagged & insured, too.Fred Hill, S'toon

I hadn't noticed that it was actually 3 wheels. But what an awesome sidecar. I want one like that for an XS, but I want the sidecar part to look like a Camaro.Originally posted by fredintoon View Post

Let's think about this for a minute.
That thing isn't the "best of both" by any means. think of tripeling the wieght of your bike. Think of add a bunch of weight to your car. How could you feel like you are on a motorcycle that has 5 time the wind resistance of your bike. How would you feel in your car when it wants to pull to the left all the time. You think you can get 40 to 50 mpg? Not a chance! There is a bunch of other things wrong, but I will take one thing from it, the money it cost!!!

I don't know, it's kind of scary. Probably costs 3 fortunes.
Performance can't be that good, with the added weight.
Still what is even more scary is I WANT ONE!!!

Look in the third pic. You can see the RF wheel.

I wonder if you can drive it from the inside also.Comment

Ummmm....If you see a fourth wheel in that picture, then I gotta start drinking what your having!!!
I do have to say it looks kind of cool, but it would not feel like riding a bike to me. That and it would have to cost more than my truck which just ain't right!!

Hi Winterhawk,
It is a very good picture of the ..... Okay, first of all I would like to know what do we call it. Just kidding, it is indeed a very good picture of the bike in a car. I liked it. It was a very innovative thought. There will be many questions raised for this, but it is sure to grab some attention while having a ride through the roads. Thanks for the picture and stay connected.r4i softwareComment
