Elio

^^^ I have always wondered if those training wheel setups would be good for an experienced rider who was perhaps starting to experience balance issues from old age or vertigo or something.

 unless those trainers are attached to a swing arm any bumps are gonna tear them, and you, up.

How the hell are you supposed to lean into the turn with those things on??/rhetorical question

They must not be, but they sure look to me as if they'd be more dangerous than riding without.

I've been seeing things like this around town, recently:



Stupid *expletive deleted* safety nazi unskilled untrained devices to give a false sense of security to people that don't learn how to DRIVE A *expletive deleted* MOTORCYCLE PROPERLY.

Hint:  You'll NEVER learn to ride properly if you use these since you'll never learn to counter-steer.

There are indeed training wheels for motorcycles but, that definitely looks like a Photoshop.

And if it's not "shopped" then:

I have vertigo so the "high end" ones would be right up my alley and I already know how to counter steer.

I thought outriggers for motorcycles were for riding on snow/ice?

That's not a true Harley.

Looks like Elio is getting serious again, I have been seeing their ads on the web.

They keep pushing the release date back, and I don't think the factory is anywhere close to up and running.  That being said, I continue to follow them with interest.

This looks close to the final nail in the coffin for Elio.

Yeah, we ain't buying it.

That's too bad,  those things were cool looking.

That's a shame. I can only guess that the shale oil revolution has dampened the enthusiasm for the vehicle. If gas prices were still pushing $4 per gallon, I don't think he'd be having so many problems.

Random thought- I wonder how these would do paired with self-driving technology.

It's not the vehicle that's the issue here in Shreveport, LA, it's the shady business practices and lying that has destroyed the faith and trust in the project here locally.
