www.indycycleonline.com [see link] SportsCycle add-on for motorcycles, and especially reading their FAQ (Is it dangerous? YES SIR! Can you get killed with it? RIGHTO! )gave me the thought of making a light-weight extension to a motorcycle with similar design but completely different line of thought:
Build it for safety and comfort.
I suppose air filled rubber tubing in front and back of you, and some strong but light-weight materials can enclose the sides and definitely assist in moving traffic threats out of your way, and/or taking the energy of impact.
Also, for safety of those you may hit, external airbags or perhaps rubber (inflatable) bumpers could help.
The trike should be enclosed, so its comfortable to drive, and should be well designed to look good (like the cree: link II)

The IndyCycle/SportCycle isn't enclosed, and probably wouldn't be safe in inclement weather anyway. The Cree SAM is electric, and if it is ever produced in large numbers it won't be cheap.
There are still some HMV Freeways around, someone should reverse-engineer them and make them available in kit form (or convince Dave Edmonson to put them in production again- not much chance of that). |
