Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Tilting Motor Works began with the idea of combining the best of motorcycles with the stability of cars. I wanted to design and build a vehicle that would outperform both motorcycles and cars. The known drawback to motorcycles is that if the front tire loses traction the bike will go down. With two wheels up front, you have greatly increased your front end traction. You have also greatly increased the braking power and cornering capability. I also wanted to lower the center of gravity of the vehicle as compared to a motorcycle by dropping the rider down and behind the engine. I have also moved the gas tank beneath the seat which is being done on some current model high performance bikes. Lowering the center of gravity allows quicker flicking between corners and increases stability. The one thing about cornering in performance cars such as my Porsche 911 is that the driver is always thrown toward the outside of the corner. I much prefer the cornering feeling of a motorcycle where you are being pushed down into your seat as you go into a corner hard.
