The TECA Concept

The TECA Concept
Here’s what the creators of the TECA are saying on their site: “TECA is a microvehicle concept aimed at improving the safety, convenience and efficiency of two-wheeled travel. The aerodynamic shape should give performance improvements of around 35% and save fuel as well! ... ”. What is not said is how the bike stands at a red light… Via Teca ( Add a comment, Search on eBay)

They say once the bike starts to lean at a 45 degree angle wheels will come out from the side of the bike to keep it stable. Making those sharp turns will also be easy and stopping shouldn't be a problem. Like one person said. "GYROSCOPIC STABILAZATION!"

Good god ppl... do you think a company would waste money making it if they DIDN'T have a way to stop at red lights? (Most) companies aren't retarted and those that are don't last long because they go out of business... there are plenty of options including the "training wheels." What suprises me is that all these people that must be inteligent if they are raging on a companies stupidity havent thought of using the same force that keeps a bike upright at speed... GYROSCOPIC STABILAZATION!

GG newbs... die and clear out the gene pool a bit. K thnx bye.

It's obvious. When you stop at a red light, you do a barrel roll.

Folks! It's a concept vehicle. It's not ready for the showroom! I'm sure something like automatic outriggers could be deployed electronically. And the reason the riders not wearing a helmet is I believe enclosed vehicles like this have a waiver for wearing a helmet because of meter reader type vehicles. Anyway this idea is bitchin! We need to create alternatives to cars and trucks in our country for those who want real choices.

how does the thing stop will that question ever be anwsered thats is probably the only reason people aren't going crazy over buying it right now because things like this would normally be selling off the charts but the problem is no one knows how to stop on the thing how would they ever make it alive or with no bruises each time when they decided to take a ride when they try to stop the machine. how can they create something as brilliant as this and put it on the internet and then say they don't have a way to stop the machine i mean its not like they didn't think this problem would occur it looks like a motorcycle and it has 2 wheels of course it was going to face the balance factor and the problem of how to stop without tipping over thats the type of thing that makes me mad people make something unique but don't make the last minute adjustments and how did they expect people to stop did they just think of the design and not all of the maneuvers that the bike would have to make to turn and stop thats just plain stupid to make something so unique but not come up with an idea of how to stop the contraption unless they already know how to stop the contraption and just aren't telling us but if they are they need to go ahead and tell us how to stop the bike because there's a lot of people dying to but this new and improved vehicle

exactly how would you stand up right at a stop light because unless they build in 2 kick stands that automatically shoot out when the motion sensors feel the bike coming to a stop there is no way that the teca concept could possibly be safer than a regular 2 wheeled bike put that in your pipe and smoke it oh and when you come up with the solution to that problem i want to be the first one to buy it well hope and wish you the best of luck in this new invention:|

I seem to recall that BMW did one of these a long time ago. It had "traing wheels" that came out at low speeds

Can someone say TRON. BTW how do you stay upright at a stop light, or do you just tip over.
