Nice one Buzzin... ;D Posted by ...Franklin, Mmhh hehehe  looking at it in action it does look incredibly unsafe. How secure will be your grip and ability to steer at any sort of highish speed once you hit a bump or some wind, plus you arms will get tired real quick i would of thought. BUT if the adapted it like the kids scooters and gave it folding handlebars and a saddle type post for longer a seat, you could see that being of use to the military, Like the jeep during ww2. can see it now Bigger more rugged wheels, Camo and lighter weight material. SAS one's would come with stingers on the side... ;D ;D ;D It could become very iconic, if used in such a way. (oohh the mind boggles..  ) Stay safe people. |

No ground clearance Where does the PBI (Poor Bloody Infantryman) put his 40plus Kg of kit that he normally carries on his back? More importantly, where would the Guards Officers carry their cocktail cabinets and is there space for a box large enough for their bearskin hats? The Cavalry would never adopt it because the noise would scare their ponies You have a point with the side mounted missiles though, but point them backwards for a little extra thrust, then equip the French Army with them. Fire backwards at the enemy, while you make a speedy getaway! |
