specs are light but a 100 mi+ range is claimed from its electric powertrain, and the steering is reputed to be steer by wire. oh yeah, and it leans. check out the video inlined above.

either that's really good CGI or this thing exists. hot damn. i want one. it would go well with my Piaggio MP3.

Tim-H · 10-07-2009, 05:57 PM

What's the clutch pedal for?

naimouasta · 10-07-2009, 05:58 PM

parking brake maybe.

Balantz · 10-07-2009, 05:59 PM

Looks fun.

Tim-H · 10-07-2009, 06:10 PM

Well it wont sell in the US, we're too fat to fit inside, not even close with the back seat.

bemani · 10-07-2009, 06:16 PM

Are they planning on selling this in Harley dealerships?
Don't use the word "glide" in your name goddangit.

Death trap... but still pretty cool.

SubaruBirri · 10-07-2009, 06:29 PM

I don't know bout anyone else but I would rock the pants off that car.

E. Nick · 10-07-2009, 06:29 PM

That thing is cool!

jigga · 10-07-2009, 06:32 PM

Interesting... Reminds me of a 4 wheeled version of this:

Mercedes Benz F300 Life-Jet.

I heard it was carbon fiber, so it was very hard to damage.

Superglue WRX · 10-07-2009, 07:38 PM

Do want.

If anything, it would be cool to just sit inside, grab the aircraft style controls and go "shwoooooo" "kooooooshhhhh" "ack ack ack ack ack ack ack" "woooooosh"

Deuce Cam · 10-07-2009, 07:46 PM

The fact that it leans is sweet and the interior/controls look awesome. I'd like to take the doors off, put a rack on the back and go play a round of golf.

SubaruBirri · 10-07-2009, 07:50 PM

haha ack ack ack ack ack wooooooooooooosshhhhhhhh ack ack ack ack **deploying hellfire missles 1 and 3** ack ack ack ack.

All day long.

Brisky · 10-07-2009, 07:53 PM

I would totally rock that out in the summer on my commute!
The fact that it leans is damn sexy!
=)

ChrisL2 · 10-08-2009, 03:18 AM

So, a motorcycle for people who are scared of two-wheeled transportation? And it automatically leans for you!

mhoward1 · 10-08-2009, 09:02 AM

It looks like a blast to drive. Wow, a fun electric. This could do very well.

merlot · 10-08-2009, 09:16 AM

Very cool! I'd use one as a commuter.
