I was kinda impressed. It's kind of a cross between a two and three wheeler, but it actually has four wheels. Only two or three touch the ground at a time though.
Seems like a good way to cut down on ground friction as well as making an aerodynamic body to fit it.
Festiva 1.3 with an automatic. Belt driven rear wheel.
I would like to see it go two wheels on steady straight driving. Perhaps even retractable outrigger wheels for better aerodynamics! Then when you slow down, put the outriggers out again for stability. (You might even be able to use a kit plane partial fuselage for your body, as this one is based on the BD-5 jet.)
Okay, get a load of this:
Looks like the two outriggers retract upon acceleration. Don't let the hype mislead you. Very low drag plus very low weight, plus reduced road friction contribute to high speed and high mpgs, whether this thing is roadworthy or not.
HA!! Here are the retractable outriggers on a "two wheeler":
Now on this one, the wheels will produce gyroscopic stability at a real low speed. Watch it accelerate from a stop and you'll see how slow! Probably around 5 mph or so.
Sweet.
What'dya think?
