VW Beetle engine hidden in the arse of the sidecar & ridden from the bike. VW wings used to create the rear bodywork with cut n shut bonnet up front? Presumably 2 wheel drive with shortened driveshafts. Gear lever in the side car. Leaf-sprung seat.
Clever stuff.

If it didn't look like Beyoce's bum I would say it looks nice....
Clever though, as you say.

Real wheel drive standard width as the seat forks are simply offset to the centreline .Doesn't qualify as a trike as wheels not equidistant from front  |

So this is a sidecar/combination then? Either way it's ingenious, and were it not the colour of Beyonce's bum (purple metallic would be my choice too BG), i would like it very much. |

So how would that be registered Kev? Wonder how it handles? It wouldn't in this country as it's left hand drive combo . I'm guessing it would be hard work to ride , pretty much like a combo from the tales I've heard ie different techniques to go left or right |

Speed up to go left, slow down to go right.
