What the heck is this?

[Bogus]

Saw this in the parking lot of the local credit union. Anybody know what it is? Did not see any badging...might be hand built?

Just snapped a couple shots with the cell "phone". Smallish scooter like wheels, but pretty cool and very clean.

Burgman trike conversion.

(For chicks and Englishmen.)

Man I'd like to take that on a ride on the Dragon....No one said ever!

 

[HotRodZilla]

There's lots of companies out there that do trike conversions for scooters. Ok, maybe not "lots" but more than one. Google it...You'll find all kinds of stuff like pics and writeups. Someone here had one for their SO I believe. Don't remember who it was, but they rode the crap out of it. It was white...Maybe JDog??

I like the Burgman (for a scooter), but why do you need to mess up the nice 'lines' of the trike w/ a little trunk above the seat, if you've got a BIG TRUNK out back?

I could be wrong, but that doesnt appear to be a trunk. There are 4 bolts on each corner, so I'm betting it's just to get the differential and exhaust?

It's the new modern "updated" HOVEROUND for senior riders.

It's the new modern "updated" HOVEROUND for senior riders.?

I'm a senior rider, but much prefer two wheels...

That Burgman conversion does look nice...

I should have said for health challenged Senior riders.

Maybe mama needed something to lean against. Or maybe they needed extra storage for things like medication, oxygen machines or a wheelchair...

Same here, and I'll stay on two wheels for now. I do have some even older friends who have gone to Burgman or Honda scooters, though none have gone the trike route yet. A couple of years back, they had a scooter rally at Eureka Springs, about 200 miles from me, so I went up for a visit with some of my older Yankee buddies. I even led a scooter ride on my Goldwing. It was quite pleasant to be the youngest person on the ride for a change

Looking at the bottom of that thing, it could be a lawn mower.

Ah! And that thing on back is the grass catcher. Clever!

Now it makes sense. I don't think too much of it for transportation, but as a lawn mower it is pretty cool.

That's the 400 , there's a 650 too , many of the conversions are really just "Training Wheels", so you can go back and forth Here's a youtube video of a "true" conversion

Life is stranger than fiction, the Teletubbies may be moving to North Korea, that should fix 'em (it's true). In Iran we were able to insert a virus in their computers but this seems to be aimed at the high tech level of N. Korea.

No need to continue this diversion, back to trikes.

Here is a WTF we saw while out on a ride, note the steering wheel:

I'd get a Can Am before I got that
