Can you put Termi's on it?


they wouldn't make much noise, but I'm sure you can mount them on there somewhere.

Sure, but a less expensive and more effective modification would be spoke cards ;D

I just don't see enough of a market to make it viable.

Those who really want something fully-enclosed aren't going to want to lean around turns.

The thing is pretty long, as well.

Plus lean is just plain bad when something has more than two wheels and a steering wheel.

Ah. I was referring to the Zerotracer from the original post. It has two wheels (unless you count the outriggers) and uses motorcycle controls.

i think the lean affect is better on the zerotracer, i agree, a stationary set of wheels in the back seems like unhealthy engineering

what's the point of a motorcycle if it's fully enclosed?

isn't most of the fun being out in the open?

I think that's call body roll not lean unless you have active suspension.
