Very Flash Gordon. It made me smile but still, being a trike, has all the disadvantages of a bike without the advantages of a bike. (It's got bar end mirrors too and, in this case, they don't even match the style of the bike).

I usually try to avoid looking at trikes,they make my eyes water,but if I saw that parked somewhere I'd go & take a good look at it.

You would assume less awful than a normal trike (which ime is the worst of bike and car), and yes I have ridden one, as the steering is presumably more sensible.
The styling is pretty crappy though. It does seem like a bit of a niche market - slightly camp retro trikes.

It looks like it belongs in Lazytown, which you will probably only understand if you had young kids a decade ago or thereabouts.

I'd take a ride/drive on/in that. Looks cool,but probably no use at all.

Yep, looks like transport for Sportacus, whether that's a good thing or a bad thing I don't know

Maybe they shouldn't have gone to the Enid Blyton school of vehicle styling for inspiration.ChrisW wrote: ↑Fri Jul 08, 2022 6:04 pmGood or bad, sadly I suspect it wasn't what they were aiming for.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Fri Jul 08, 2022 3:13 pmYep, looks like transport for Sportacus, whether that's a good thing or a bad thing I don't know
