Yamaha Buys Patent For Brudeli Leanster
If you're a very long time reader of The Kneeslider, you may remember when we wrote about the Brudeli Leanster way back in 2006 and 2008. The leaning 3 wheeler showed a great deal of promise from a company that was literally started in a garage by Geir Brudeli and some of his friends. A few days ago Geir sent me a note announcing some extremely good news, it seems the work he's … [Read more...]

You end up with sort of a Lotus Seven or Caterham roadster, but with … [Read more...]
Vanderhall Laguna Three Wheel Roadster Built in Utah
Another three wheeler popped up on my radar today when I noticed a Vanderhall Laguna for sale. It's a car bodied reverse trike, somewhat like a Morgan, but engineered for today based on current technology and materials. It's pretty impressive, unfortunately the Utah government and the auto dealers in the state have so far, successfully, prevented the vehicle from being sold … [Read more...]
