What do you need her to turn for? She's right where you want her.

....ohhhh, you mean turn over. Now I get it. :clapping:

Turn her over............Why?

"Turning" is clearly not a big priority for these young, custom builders.

The wheelbase is huge, as are the tires' cross section, both of which will make this turn like a Sherman tank.

Just another case of being different just to be different, regardless of the actual functionality.

I do think it is "interesting" that one of the YouTube test vids has it making engine-like noises, while the text indicates the bike is an electrically propelled design.

Whazzup wit dat, yo? :huh:

Have you ever ACTUALLY seen a Sherman tank turn? they're fairly nimble...turn on a dime (big one). I'm with you on the engine noises though, shouldn't they kind of whine like in the movie/video game?

At the end of the first video they show the bike from the second video fully done in their showroom . The second video bike seems to be a standard combustion dressed up to look like a tron light cycle, the first video clearly shows a fully electric driven design. The bike in the first video rocks by it's mechanical simplicity. I love the whine the multiple wheel bearings make at low speed. Should be pretty loud at 55mph or higher.
