Nah, we got a few more tweeks left with the steering, wheel truing & bike geometries then she should be ready to ride. Fingers crossed the first test ride will be this weekend!

  2. its a model of an experimental german ww2 3 wheeled mine sweeping tank. The idea was to have heavy steel wheel boots that would activate the mines and have a thick enough steel plating so as the tank wouldnt be damaged. It was probably diesel powered for sure... but could it be retrofitted to be human powered? How many riders would that take hehe
