I saw this Honda Zoomer X at the top of my street today. Likely for someone with balance problems. Not sure why they didn't just make it into a sidecar so at least they could carry something.

Pretty Neat....I've got a Ruckus Buddy in Miami, Florida that's building a "Ruckus Trike".....

I rode with a guy who did this to a Burgman 400. He had muscular sclerosis, and didn't have good balance anymore. I've also seen a guy with one leg on a Harley trike. It's amazing what people will do to keep on riding.

Yep.....Trikes are getting really popular here in the USA in about the last 5 years.....

My buddies wife rides one of these Can-Am Spyders and says she loves it. It is kind of a reverse trike.
Here is a link to a review of them.

I have seen a lot more Can-Am Spiders lately, and many of them are ridden by women. As for the Zummer X, I am still trying to figure out what the pedals are for. I've never seen one of these scooters so I don't know how they are ridden.

Here is what they look like. I think they may only be available in Thailand or Asia, but I am not sure. I suspect that the person who owns the one I posted earlier modified it with the extra two wheels because of some sort of disability which makes it difficult for them to balance.

The Zoomer is a tough looking scoot
Reminds me of a fav, the Ruckus. During this person's trike conversion I think too many bodyware/plastics were removed. All I see is frame, too much frame. Ah wait, I just took a second look, Now I'm seeing a zoomerdunebuggy
Now it's Kool! That worked
Cheers...If the owner is disabled, and he saved his bike to go trike, more power to him! He's still enjoying the ride
