I was at a Shop in NJ last yr sometime in October or November, they actually had them on one of the bikes there..seemed like a decent idea and probably would help some people, dont really know how sturdy they would be though

They look too much like training wheels for me. When I cant hold the bike up anymore I think I'll add a sidecar instead.

For the average rider...lame. Unless someone who has a physical disability uses them, I can't see the point. Definitely sure to get a reaction at a roadhouse or biker bar for sure.

I used to fly r/c airplanes with a guy in Dalton, GA. we called him Big Dave. When Dave wasn't flying, he would ride his Harley, don't remember what it was, to the flying field to hang out. He was injured in Viet Nam and was paralyzed from the waist down. He had a powered wheel chair he would ride into the specially designed sidecar. The sidecar had a power ramp and power locks to grip the wheel chair. The ramp would close and Dave would operate his bike FROM THE SIDE CAR. Specially designed controls were mounted on the front of the sidecar. I learned a lot from Dave, he didn't let his paralysis get in the way of riding.
Now back on subject. I can see applications where these "training-wheels" would be beneficial. Pretty cool idea if you need them to keep riding.
