belfastguzzi Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 I would have fun trying! 82298[/snapback] This sorta thing has been shown plenty of times before and I'm inclined to favour it, even if the VW does come with a 3' wide back tyre. This neatly links back to the Quiz Forum with Trabant and Fiat engines, but in reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antonio carroccio Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I hope this scooter will not get on the market yet. I can imagine all the teenagers here in Holland going too speedy on these machines around the roads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeeve Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 That has got to be slick Russian technology....what the heck is that? 82341[/snapback] No telling, but I'm guessing a heavy-lifter weedwhacker along the Sikorsky sky-crane theme? Obviously, no actual lifting from hover, just cargo transport to unimproved fields. Think about it from the Sovietski P.O.V.: a bazillion acres of taiga with no way of moving stuff in or out except by helo. You can fly a commando of sappers armed with chainsaws in one of these things, rappel them down, & have a landing space cleared for it to set down before it can make it back with the field hq, kitchen & showers on the second trip. The Soviets were famous for that, whipping up a single-purpose brute-force attack kind of tool. Gotta keep the proles busy, you know! I hesitate to think what the fuel consumption on that thing was!
