It's been done before. It was for people with disabilities who have trouble holding the bike up at a stop. Not a bad idea in that case...

"Phiaro prides itself on finding workable solutions to questions nobody else would even ask"

That makes me snicker every time I read it.

A motorcycle for someone who needs four wheels under them.

Uhhhh... Don't they already make one?

Really... so you can bank that car through the turns just like a motorcycle?

Personally, I'm happy to see technology put to use to help those that are physically less fortunate. At least these people can still get out and enjoy riding.

I'd feel stupid with that landing gear on my bike - but for someone who is disabled I think it's a great idea.

Ah... I only just now noticed the wheels fold up when the bike's moving. That makes quite a difference...

I don't see what's so bad about it. They fold down below a certain speed meaning that someone who is either older or injured can still enjoy a bike.

If anyone watches the TV show "House" about the disabled doctor with horrible bedside manner- resulting always in hilarity.

Last week he bought a bike on the show, a guy crashed it so he got it for a good price. Anyway, crippled people should be able to ride too, not just fake crippled people on TV.
