    It reminds me of one of the vehicles used by the main character on Iain M. Banks’ “Against a Dark Background”, very interesting. It would be interesting to know how well such a concept (even as a regular vehicle) would work, it would make a pretty interesting “motorcycle”.

    Can anyone else count at least TWO wheels in these pictures? And from the looks of the last diagram, there may be three.
