First Look: The Magic Tricycle
Check this! A futuristic trike that turns into a motorbike to negotiate tight spaces

CONCEPT BIKES are getting cooler every year and this is one of the coolest things we've seen.
Design student Seyyed Javad Ghaffarian created the Magic Tricycle ( great bike, crap name - Ed) for Car Design News' 2008 design contest.
For motorway driving the futuristic machine uses all three wheels, but when things get a little tight the entire passenger cabin rotates, lifting the third wheel in the air, which sprouts blades that keep the chassis stable, just like in a helicopter tail. The seats in the cabin stay upright when it turns, so drinks can stay in their cup holders.
You can keep your Batpod, Batman - it's the Magic Tricycle for us (as long as we can change the name -Ed).
