That Akira style photo is beyond epic!
-
Really nice job - I'm honored - thank you for your enthusiasm!
-
Dude's got his lathe in his kitchen absolute chad

This is the closest I've ever seen of a viable method to make an Akira Battle Bike. Because it allows for an engine of any size as well as allowing it to be made oversize to fit the pilot. If I ever had the money ...I'd contact Robert to make it.

Reminds me of “ Akira , Kanneda’s bike “

I've been building recumbent motorcycles for years as daily drivers. I've built a lot of them, As long as your body is in the right position and the steering is not crazy, then they're pretty comfortable ride. I never built one to race, though. I've built them for friends also who absolutely love to cruise around on them. Got a YouTube channel full of them. I do admire this man engineering on his steering!

Anyone that has machine tools in the kitchen has my vote!!!!
-
Dang that is the closest Kaneda Bike I’ve ever seen. Great job Robert Horn!
-
I relly want an Akira style enclosed lay down bike, it's weird to me that it doesn't already exist
-
I think it would be great if this concept is used in cruising and touring motorcycles....Because it seems very comfortable for rider...
-
You left out that most full size semi-trucks are more aerodynamic than a motorcycle. The foot-forward design solves that problem while lowering the CoG. It has to be the way forward.

YES!! Been thinking about something like this awhile. Super low profile, ought to have very good energy efficiency. Unfortunately also too easy for cagers not to see it :(
-
I have been interested in the "feet first" idea for years. Ever since I saw a Quasar displayed at a show in Batersea. Later I got into FF bicycles and still have one..

Watch….Elon steal this and make a cyber bike!!😂😂
-
Would buy one of these!

Love this bike, such amazing work. I hope he continues with development. I wonder if he rides it on the road. That would give a good testing. I ride a recumbent bicycle. I do notice a lesser stability at slow speeds. Also a twitchyness. This is far less when loaded up with panniers low down. I suspect his bike doesn’t suffer so. Especially with the vertical front steering axis, though be interesting to know if the rear wheel steering helps, a few folk have tried rear only steering with no real success. My main issue is that it is difficult to turn your head and look around at junctions or behind. A good mirror definitely needed.

How weird, I literally just wondered this morning if a foot-forward/recumbent motorcycle could be raced. I didn’t do a search this was just in my feed 😂

Laying not Lying or Lay Down Bike. Lovely concept and very innovative.
-
Congrats you have figured out what a paradigm shift is.

This man has made my dream vehicle!
