Any ideas where I can read more info. about it? http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1707140820.jpg |
^^^ I'd like to know more also. It's a Cadillac Seville, probably late 70s/early 80s, which is odd to begin with because they were far from performance cars. I have a vague recollection of a Car & Driver article back in the day ???

Mom had a Seville that looked identical to this one. I got a ticket in it on I-10 in Santa Rosa County doing 90mph heading to Pensacola from Niceville for an Eric Clapton concert, speed limit was 55. It had a digital speedometer and I wanted to see what it went up to, it got to 85 and started flashing, the number stopped increasing but the speed of the car wasn't. I was slowing down when a trooper coming from the opposite direction came over a small hill and I saw the back of his car go up when he was hard on the brakes and he hit his lights. Once I got slowed up enough I just pulled over and waited for him. Lol.
I remember it had a fuel injected 350.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b95c6f02e5.jpg Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk |

Went down the 3-wheel leaning rabbit hole..
https://www.tiltingmotorworks.com/# They make front conversions for Harley/Honda/Indian. Some hydraulically auto-right and lock to park upright. Several patents. Double the front road contact and the front braking power. (~80% weight transfer). Jay Leno said it feels like riding a normal motorcycle though it's a bit too wide for him. I so very much want this Goldwing. I think that's lust envy and greed all in one. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1707260814.jpg Yamaha tilting. A bit of gravel is the difference between a little slide vs new leathers and bike. A bit ugly but can probably be customized. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1707260838.jpg https://www.arcimoto.com/mlm "In February 2021, Arcimoto acquired Tilting Motor Works, including its patented tilting technology and TRiO motorcycle performance kit" (Tiltingmotorworks still might be in the full motorcycle conversion business. IDK. Website is still up.) How does a 200mi range and 75mph bicycle sound for you? The pedals are for a generator so it's actually an electric scooter. Looks narrow enough to use in bike lanes and squeeze by cars. Videos look like it will go off-road somewhat but the ground clearance isn't too high. The company also makes a bad ash mini delivery vehicle. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1707261063.jpg Kawasaki also has some newer patents. This design allows the front wheels to be locked together just outside the forks = narrower front end. (I had the same design in my head, but the forks mount lower than the hub centers at the bottom of a "U" which lowers COG and makes it more self-righting) More heavy un-sprung weight at the wheels but a low COG and pretty solid design from the looks of it. https://www.cycleworld.com/story/motorcycle-news/new-kawasaki-tilting-trike-revealed/ http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1707262175.jpg They make a Japanese bike with that suspension design. Basket is welded to the frame for light steering. Battery will probably get torn off being that low. https://gigazine.net/gsc_news/en/20210612-noslisu-review/ http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1707262495.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1707262511.jpg |
