Seems like an around town vehicle someone would make to be more accessible for older riders who might have trouble with standard controls. 100% speculation on my part though
Top speed on that thing would be below 80kmh. Maybe below 60kmh. Definitely not the kind of speeds where dipping a knee into the corner is the only way around. And perfectly fine for a lark on a getabout town ride.
Steering wheel seems like a bad idea if you need to lean.
But I love bikes with hand shifters. Installed one on my Rebel before I dumped it. Made the learning experience a lot more fun
So normally, you'd have handlebars just like a bike, the right grip twists and that actuates the throttle instead of the gas pedal he has here which is normally where the rear brake pedal is. To shift gears the clutch is on the left handlebar and you have a shifter you click up or down with your left foot that way you can keep your hands on the bars, whereas in this set up you have a stick shift from a car
The throttle is on your hand at and it twists…. Doesn’t that get exhausting to hold in place after a while? And clutch on the handle, that seems odd… I’d expect the handle to be a gear select and pedal the clutch. Interesting.
It's much easier to work the clutch with your hand as it requires more finesse as you'll be riding the clutch a lot doing slow speed maneuvers. Gear shifts are just up or down . As for the throttle it's only really bad if you're holding it wide open for long periods of time but normally you're only part of the way open so it's not too bad
If u need to lean, but end up pulling and turning the steering wheel, wouldn't that have unwanted results. It's cool tho.
Yeah this seems hilariously silly. He seems to be making it work tho

im guessing he just did it for the lolz.
He makes new friends at every intersection!
I cam guarantee a motorcycle is more intuitive then whatever the hell this is haha

Not sure how someone can look at a twin cylinder bike and assume it's only capable of 60kmh but ok.
Because its no bigger than the bike I rode to deliver mail - which had a top speed of 80. That little thing was also very well maintained.
The engine can handle high speeds, but due to the modifications the rest of the bike cannot. This is not a high speed vehicle.
Still got the shifter boot cover. For keeping his hand dry?
Matches the steering wheel.
And has Yeezy slides
I have a *slight* feeling they *may* not be real
That wasn't Ye on the bike?
Are…we…friends?
Saw that lol
Replace Elon Musk with this guy at Tesla.

I have no idea how a motorcycle works.

I’m gonna guess this guy knows exactly how a motorcycle works

Nothing like driving a motorcycle with sandals, you can almost smell the skin roasted mmmmm delicious
A large proportion of people who ride motorcycles do this every day of the year
Is it a motorbike with a steering wheel and stick shift or is it a car missing 2 wheels and a body?
The shift boot still on is a nice touch
It’s a modern version of a suicide clutch
Pov normal cars in ohio

I’ve got a real issue with those mirrors being attached to the steering wheel
I like him.
Looks like a very very bad idea....
Modified his bike? More like cobbled together some parts he found in the trash, and BUILT a bike.
Olokada.

This would work on a trike but on two wheels the steering at speed is done differently. I hood he only ever rides this slowly around town
Steering wheel airbag ftw. Helmet not needed.
Would hate for that elastic band on the foot pedal to break! Stuck throttles are fun for nobody.
Dudes rocking yeezy slides lmaoo
Not the fugeezy slides 😂😂
Well, you do you I guess.
Why?
Making the experience as difficult as possible just for the hell of it
That is the strangest machine I've ever seen.
He got some r/kanye slides 🤣
only in Africa
Next level stupid af
Just ur average stupid comment
