VIDEO: EVO Crashes £50,000 "Vehicle Of The Future"

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you crashed a MonoTracer?

I guess a better place to start would be telling you about a MonoTracer. According to the company's website, it is "the perfect combination of a sporty touring motorcycle and a real 'lean machine' SPORTCAR."

It is more practical than a motorcycle since it is enclosed and it has proper seating for two. Although I am not confident how well it would sell in the U.S., I will say it could have some sales potential across the pond.

Now, onto the crash. Evo Magazine in the U.K. was on the track putting the Tracer through its paces when they overcooked it a bit and I'll let you see the rest...

By the way, doesn't this thing look a little like an R8 -- from the side profile -- with its nifty side blade?

The side blades does make it resemble an R8.

i saw this thing a long time ago(several years) on some show prob on discovery channel--I thought it was a neat idea. And this video is great to let the woman in your life see who won't let you have a bike b/c they're not safe.

Are you sure it wasn't a Carver?

I really like the jet-fighter way this thing handles. Maybe it is sloppy and slow compared with a real bike, but something about the enclosed cockpit looks really cool.

At least the guy can see where he is crashing unlike the corvette driver with his roof panel held on by glue falling apart.

Agent00R says "Are you sure it wasn't a Carver?" -- Carvers have 2 rear wheels, and 1 front, a tilting trike. This vehicle has only two wheels in tandem, like a motorcycle, plus retractable outriggers to balance the machine at low speeds.
