I remember reading about those a while back, and seeing something on them on TV.

Probably something on Discovery channel or something.. they are pretty damn nifty.

I love the retractable training wheels... pretty sweet. I could just picture the looks on people's faces as I flew by them in one on the freeway...

Re: I had a ride in one of these last year ...

I saw something liek that made in the Netherlands on Top Gear, but it had two rear wheels, and a single front. The engine was mounted over the rear wheels, which stayed planted, like they would on the back of a car, but the cabin (enclosed) and front wheel tilted like on a motorcycle...

The "Training wheels" are what keeps you stable at a redlight since you can't lean on your feet.

They also can be used if you dare to lean that far down in a turn (which we did) ... THAT is super cool.

I figured that. I watched the vid and noticed the auxilary wheels came out upon decceleration and retracted when accelerating. I like it.
