They remind me of choppers. I can appreciate the time, effort and money they take - but I wouldn't want the end result. (except to sell)

I wonder how many people noticed something in the first picture? Hint, hint... It's similar to the choppers' flat rear tire concept. I helps a motorcycle keep its balance. Parents use it to help their kids get into riding two-wheel vehicles.

The "training wheels" that look to be the size of skateboard wheels?
Wonder if it has air suspension to lower it on them as a stand?
