MAXAM 3000 in Tokyo

By Paul Crowe

Our intrepid reporter on the scene in Tokyo, was at the Tokyo Motor Show and sent these photos of the MAXAM 3000. I said it was big, but it looks like it’s designed to be a 2 wheeled pickup truck! Look at the size of this thing. Take off the covers and you have a truck bed in the back. I wonder if a camper top is available. Maybe it’s me but it looks really unwieldy, and did I say it’s big? This is the Queen Mary of scooters. Judge for yourself.

    That’s hilarious! It’s like a stretch limousine. That rack-like section on the back end looks like it could be retrofitted for a jacuzzi. If I say that thing on the road (admittedly unlikely in Chicago), I think I would drive off the road from laughing!

    I think it´s cool! A leadsled on 2 wheels! Could do without the pickup bed, though. Hope they put it on the market. I´d buy one instantly!

    I’d like to see Joe Cager say he didn’t see this one coming down the road!

    if you havent ridden the morphous, its a blast, great handling, fast take off, i have had mine up to 85 on the highway, and its a 250cc so im sure a little tweaking here and there will add some more hp to it, i put 115 miles on the 3.7 some gallon tank mostly highway and a few city miles on it, its great, just lookin to supe it up with some aftermarket stuff, so far im outta luck though, lean back and kick your feet up like a harley with just your heels in the foot wells on the side and just go cruisin,, its a blast, shame i have to wait about 7 more months to ride again,,,, iraq….
