I came across the above news article over the holidays about this Washington state company. Does anyone have any experience with this kit?


Here's the link to the company.

Makes you think BUT! IMO basic engineering seems to be sound advanced spyder or reversed hannigan. Need to design something more than a rear fender in the center. really needs something pleasing on the front between the wheels. Like they say if it doesn't look good it doesn't turn your head you keep walking. fearless

For those interested in tilting trikes there are a lot of companies working on their version of the Spyder design including Honda.
But if you want a regular rear wheel trike that tilts look here.

There's quite a few pictures from diffferent angles on their Facebook link, plus a video showing them riding it on an icy parking lot.
