not for me ( yet) ...

When I'm not comfortable on 2 wheels I would take a good look at this ..!

There's a good video of one being ridden on their web page.

I may have seen one of these once. It's an interesting idea, if I'm properly understanding it. Seems it rides like a regular bike, and you need the kickstand to prevent the bike from falling over when you stop and park. With the upgrade to the tilt-lock, a hydraulic unit will lift the bike upright and vertical.

 

Looked at youtube and online, I'm curious how it handles low speed corners. In the video on their website it looked like the rider couldn't get it to turn much from a slow pull forward.

 

I think when the time comes that my Road King becomes just too much motorcycle, I'll buy a Sportster instead.

 

I hope they're still around in 20yrs. Like Mike, I'm not ready........yet.

 

Ah, they post most of their videos and such on facebook, not their web page.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm going thru the dilemma of what to do right now.

 

a new tri glide is more like 35-36K

 

the only problem i see is you still have to hold the bike up, so for an amputee i don't think it would work, can't get the bike up off the kickstand. at least for me it wouldn't that's why i had to go to a tri- glide.
