I'd love to have one that is street legal! That would cut down my commute. ;)

 

EDIT - I just looked at their website and it IS Street legal! Awesome. 3-wheeled vehicles are allowed in the HOV lane here in CA.

 

I agree that it is odd to have a huge front wing but nothing in the rear.

I actually hate any trike/3 wheeler... Why? Well, as a motorcyclist for 100k miles I can see the appeal of this type of vehicle - open like a bike but easier to ride. The problem I have with these kinds of vehicles is that they have all the disadvantages of both cars and bikes: Open to the weather like a bike, but wide like a car so you can't split lanes. Here in SoCal that's gold...!

 

Just my opinion, I could be wrong...:D

I like having 2 seats so someone else can enjoy the ride too

 

I can't bring most of my friends in the Megabusa, because the seats won't take a male pant size above a 34 waist. :blush:

I raffled off a ride in Mojo at one of the trade shows we went to.

One of the fellows that won was about 5' 2" and about 250 lbs.

I was thinking "oh no" I did not want to embarrass him.

He had a little trouble getting over the sides but amazingly I squeezed him into that

little seat and buckled him in.

 

He said that it was one of the exhilarating experiences of his entire life.

 

Getting him out was a completely different challenge.
