This 3 wheeled competitor to the Can Am bike packs a serious punch. A 2.4 liter engine puts out 175hp, with apparently fantastic handling. The angular, batman-esque styling is aggressive and modern, as if Tesla entered the dune buggy market, though the cockpit (for lack of a better term) looks suited for a larger man, more comfortable for the 6' tall and up gentleman.
