Hi Bob Mighell,
Just found Kneeslider on the internet the other day and after scanning the articles yours was the first one I went to. Having a Can-am Spyder (made by BRP) for nearly two riding seasons I have to say three wheels with two up front is the way to go. Due to medical reasons I wouldn’t be riding save for three wheels. It draws a crowd nearly evey time I stop with peolple wanting to know how it handles (it isn’t a sport bike but is a blast to ride), if it leans (it doesn’t), how much does it cost($19000CAN) and on and on. As much as I like this machine I miss the leaning aspect of riding espcially when two up. I think your leaning / tilting concept is on the money the way it can convert a standard motorcycle makes it that much more marketable. My experiance talking to people when ever I’m parked is that there would be a lot more people riding with handle bars in there hands if this was on the market.

I loved the look and the reason for designing it. I would like a kit for a Burgman 400. I have medical issues where if you could design it to stay up at stops without having to put my feet down it would be fantastic. I love that your model and lean into curves. That is one of the enjoyable aspects of riding a bike. I would also like to see a design with a custom higher back on the seat. For support so individuals with back issues can enjoy the ride as well. I think the cost is extremely high. But for those with no money issues I suppose it will sell anyway. But for the mainstream it will be a bit pricey. Good luck. I love where your creativity has taken you.

I love the design, and the possibilities of it coming into full production. As a person facing upcoming disability due to health reasons I would readily purchase this as it would enable me to keep my current bike instead of selling because I am having difficulties just being able to hold the bike upright. However, the cost is VERY prohibitive on this unit. WAY too much. 2000.00 to 2500.00 would be reasonable for a bolt on application. If it were available today for my bike in this cost range I would be placing an order!!
