I'd be curious to about two things: How it corners at any speed higher than the parking lot? How it handles at 80 mph? Neither seem like a good idea   Darth_villar Posted on Tuesday, December 20, 2016 - 08:23 pm:        But why? That is pretty much the exact opposite of what you would ever want to do... Unsprung weight is probably greater than 50% of the bike weight.   Teeps Posted on Tuesday, December 20, 2016 - 08:49 pm:        A friend made a front wheel drive 3 wheeler (ATC); because he could. It worked about as good as you'd think... not!   Damnut Posted on Tuesday, December 20, 2016 - 11:08 pm:        I'd like to see him drag a knee with that thing.   86129squids Posted on Wednesday, December 21, 2016 - 12:55 am:        Burnout!!! Reverse wheelie!!! As wonky as that rig looks AND is, I'd ride it for the sheeer hellavit. Wonder if a steerable rear wheel, or some kind of frame articulation mechanism would help? There's some kid who rides one of those electric monowheels to/from work. I SO want one of those. And, a Gurney Alligator is on my bike bucket list... it'd eat that thing!   Pwnzor Posted on Wednesday, December 21, 2016 - 07:56 am:        I'd like to see a bunch of those racing.   Natexlh1000 Posted on Wednesday, December 21, 2016 - 09:14 am:        I would never ride one but I would pay cash money to watch eight people try to race those at willow springs.   Hootowl Posted on Wednesday, December 21, 2016 - 09:38 am:        Should handle extremely well...I mean, talk about forward weight bias!   Sifo Posted on Wednesday, December 21, 2016 - 10:19 am:        I'm going to add that to one of the ways to not make a motorcycle.   86129squids Posted on Wednesday, December 21, 2016 - 12:46 pm:        I remember some folks who showed up for an event at the Maryville HD dealership here in town- they had a front-wheel drive "Big Wheel" type rig. Looked just like the kiddie's Big Wheel 3 wheeler we all know and love, but with a driven front wheel... dude was having a ball drifting that thing, raising all kinds of heyull around the parking lot! The above bike kinda reminds me of Jesse James' radial motor bike, just as wonky...   Ourdee Posted on Wednesday, December 21, 2016 - 01:19 pm:        I want to see it powered by diesel.   Glitch Posted on Wednesday, December 21, 2016 - 01:37 pm:        missed opportunity for a twin engine two wheel drive   Sifo Posted on Wednesday, December 21, 2016 - 06:18 pm:        If you are hell bent on front wheel drive, I for the life of me, I don't know why you might be, electric would make a lot of sense. Keep the unsprung weight of the front wheel to a minimum with a hub motor. Mount the batteries on the rear frame to carry the bulk of the weight.
