I was heading back to Atlanta yesterday and saw this coming up behind me. At first I thought it was a bike with a very large fairing on it. As it got closer, I realised that was not the case.



Then it moved over to pass me, I was still trying to figure out what it was.



Well, it was definately different. Driver (rider) looked to be using handle bars. There appeared to be room behind him for a passenger.



I'm guessing those tires tucked under the fairing come down at low speeds to prevent it falling over when parked or at a light? It did seem to wobble a lot though.

Well..... at least it's down your way, whatever it is.

Found out it's called a Mono Tracer, they start at $80,000........

Wow. That is dumb. I could buy a Desmosedici for that much... unreal.

Lightcycle anyone?



I guess it has a Ball Engine in it..?? Either that or its conceptual.


I see people don't wear helmets when driving them due to the full fairing. I most definitely would even still.

Check this ICE out. I knew about it a couple years now, looks like they found a use for it. lol

I know a guy in Indiana that bought 4 of those at auction.....the dealer was going out of buisness. He was selling them for around $4000, I believe. To much for Chinese junk, IMO.

EDIT>>>>On second look, not the same vehicle. The one I spoke of probably was a Chinese knock off, of this.

nacademus

You probably mean this.

Snoopy

Yeah, that's something like it. Only his passenger compartments were closed.

You know my wife is looking over my shoulder and she said he did have one "open" model like that.

They're air conditioned! I guess at that price, they ought to be.

There's a red one that scoots around Raleigh, strange little gadget especially when the "training wheels" pop out at traffic lights, very odd....but kinda cool too.

Just keep them down there, okay?
