Why Jetswing, it is a Carver. They've been around for a year or two, but not ready for prime time in the US. Here (http://www.carver-europe.com/home.htm) is their webpage.
Check out my sig for more links to 3Wheelers.
You really shouldn't post stuff like that here....RG's going to want one now. ;)

not before i get one first! :mrgreen:
:lol:
top gear did a review on it.. i will see if i can find it later.
Those are sweet... Way better than the Corbin Sparrow.
I stumbled on the Carver website a few years ago, but gave up on them ever making production. If they do, I doubt they'll ever hit what I'd be willing to pay. Try a T-Rex...

I saw one at a bike night about 6 months ago, and EVERYONE gathered around to oggle it!
I'd rather have a C1.
No, not the cheapass spinoffs that they sell in the States.
I prefer the carver over the T-Rex :dunno:

:lol: Everything goes back to eBay... I'll claim editing the URL down for the extra minute.
Edit or not... Too slow! :nana:
I started on Google anyway... Then thought about eBay.

that IS A LOT :o
i suppose the price on ebay 's kinda of inflated also :dunno:
i wish it had an enclosed cockpit. that wouild totally rock...
Even with an enclosed cockpit, I'm not into it...
I like the Corbin Sparrow better than the T-Rex... And the Carver is way better than the Sparrow. :thumb:
what's so great about sparrow? it looks like a sperm on wheels...

OK try that one, and there is another one called a T-rex. Costs 50 grand and freaking looks like it is a baby corvette. IMHO ... you have to make the thing ... buying one from a shop wont work, and if it looks faaaar to sanitary to be a bike, its not a bike ... if the damn thing has a steering wheel I'd say its losing the battle ... add windows that roll up and a wiper mechanism and adios ...
Cool.

I think the Carver looks ugly. It could use a skin that flows better, but it looks absolutely pedestrian at the moment.
And I sorta like the 2 wheels in front, 1 in back, like the Shrike and T-Rex have. How the Carver is set up, looks like one of those little delivery scooters they've got in Asia. If I wanted something like that, I figure I could tack a trike conversion kit on a Gold Wing, strip off the bodywork, and put an enclosed cockpit on it. Oh, so it would have handlebars instead of a steering wheel. :dunno:
Three wheels kills it for me. If you're going to give up leaning, give me four contact patches for cornering.
looks ugly or not, carver's leaning cockpit makes it extraordinary
It's a funky-ass leaning-that's-not-leaning. If you don't go on the side of the tire... my own bias.
Another new 3 wheeled option, this one's closer to a motorcycle: http://www.brudelitech.com/product.htm
I told my girlfriend she has to buy me one for my birthday next year :mrgreen:
