- [Narrator] Hey, guys.
It's Reacher, your host for this video.
From a screwdriver-powered wood trike
to a Detroit diesel V8 trike,
here is our list of 20 of the craziest trikes
from around the world.
(upbeat music)
Number 20.
Who knew you could actually power a motorcycle
with a cordless screwdriver?
The geniuses that designed
this environmentally-friendly trike obviously did.
The trike appeared at an annual student designer competition
and turned plenty of heads with its bent-wood construction
and Bosch screwdriver connected to the rear wheel.
(upbeat music)
Number 19.
With room for up to 10 passengers
sitting one behind another,
the Harley Anaconda set a new Guinness World Record
for the longest motorcycle on the road.
First appearing at the 2004 World of Wheels car show,
the slender trike is 19 feet in length
and weighs 1,420 pounds.
It took creator Steve "Smokey" McGill
only 640 hours over six months
to complete his snake-like trike.
(upbeat music)
This modern looking trike doesn't look strange or different,
but what is strange is it's powered by human waste
stored inside the driver's seat.
After the driver uses it as a toilet to do their business,
the waste is turned into biofuel
to propel the motorcycle.
The trike was able to complete an 870-mile tour of Japan,
proving that it doesn't stop going
as long as you're going.
(smooth music)
Number 17.
The VW Bug is one of the more popular vehicles
to combine with a motorcycle.
Though certainly strange-looking,
the rounded back of the bug
goes nicely with the curves of the motorcycle.
You'll be hard-pressed to find another Bug bike
that looks as good as these.
This is the perfect trike if you have a friend or partner
that doesn't like riding motorcycles.
(upbeat music)
Number 16.
Some motorcycles are designed
to pull a small trailer behind them,
but this camper built right onto a trike
is taking that concept to a whole new level.
And if the camper built onto a trike
isn't enough to turn heads,
this one is painted a bright yellow with flames
so you cannot miss it on the road.
(upbeat music)
Number 15.
French madman, François Gissy, likes to build crazy bikes,
and his latest creation might be his craziest yet.
It's a rocket-powered trike,
powered by a big tank of compressed air and rainwater.
That doesn't sound like a great vehicle propellant,
but it rocketed this strange little trike
from zero to 62 miles per hour
in just 55 hundredths of a second,
and it hit a top speed of 162 miles per hour.
(bike whooshes)
Number 14.
The Chevy Bel Air is one of the most popular classic cars
of all time.
These trikes are a pristine recreation
of that classic vehicle,
albeit in a smaller and more unique form.
The two-tone color of the motorcycle part in front
even matches the back,
which features the trademark covered tires
and wing-like fenders.
From the front wheels to those great looking fenders,
the builder of these trikes really nailed it.
(upbeat music)
For the man who loves Pontiac Fieros and motorcycles,
it's Fiero Trikes.
The back of these trikes and much of the floor
is a Fiero, which is a mid-engine sports car
produced by Pontiac from 1983 to 1988.
There were about 370,000 Fieros built,
so odds are, you could track one down
and build your own Fiero trike,
if you're weird enough to do so.
(upbeat music)
Number 12.
The best part of these pictures
may not even be the actual trike,
but that doesn't make it any less remarkable.
The Star Trek trikes
are an awesome replica of the Starship Enterprise,
with its hulls made of white fiberglass
and propulsion units.
Interestingly, it appears that the engine of these trikes
are situated right under the seat.
(upbeat music)
Number 11.
These hearse trikes look like a great option
for the deceased who had a passion for motorcycles.
Hearses like this one are becoming
more and more popular at funerals,
and it's not hard to see why.
This particular trike has an awesome chopper up front,
two passenger seats,
and a beautifully-designed trailer
to haul the coffin in back.
(upbeat music)
Number 10.
Chances are you will either love or hate
this interesting build from Trike Japan.
The Japanese company builds Hondas and Harleys
but this Suzuki Hayabusa styled after the F-1 Ferarri
is a clear departure from those standard bikes.
Revealed at the 2009 Tokyo Auto Salon,
the Ferarri Trike backs up its looks
with a 1,300cc engine that generates 194 horsepower.
(upbeat music)
Number nine.
This barbecue on wheels combines two things
that men around the world love.
Motorcycles and food.
There's no doubt that this mobile barbecue
would really be a hit at tailgate parties
and other gatherings.
Just make sure you don't burn yourself
when you throw your leg over to drive away.
(upbeat music)
Number eight.
Here's an awesome creation
that offers the Harley experience
with the comfort and class of a limo ride.
Accommodating up to eight passengers,
the posh Harley limo
features leather seats, a wood bar,
air conditioning, a champagne cooler,
and surround sound.
This impressive limo-trike combo
is just under 23 foot long and weighs 1.75 tons.
And with a 5.7 liter V8 engine
that generates 350 horsepower,
we're betting the driver may have just as much fun
as the passengers living it up in the back.
(upbeat music)
Number seven.
Inspired by Tim Burton's Batman films,
the Batcycle was crafted by the Polish company,
Game Over Cycles, in 2015.
At just under 15 feet long and seven feet wide,
this nostalgic looking trike
could easily fit in your garage.
The Batcycle will be even better next year,
as Game Over has announced that it will get new wings
and a completely new suspension.
And there's even a seat in back for Robin.
(upbeat music)
Number six.
To say that the guys who built this diesel-powered trike
went all out would be an understatement.
This amazing trike, featuring a Kenworth hood and grill
took nine months to build,
and you can see that the level of detail
is top notch.
Powered by a 3208 Cat motor,
the Kenworth trike sounds just as good as it looks.
(engine roars)
(upbeat music)
Number five.
The Rivet is a two-seat V8 trike
co-designed by William Shatner.
In the summer of 2015, Shatner rode across America
in this unique three-wheeled vehicle
that's capable of doing a wheelie in fourth gear.
The most notable feature of the Rivet is
well, that it's covered in rivets
to resemble the metal wing construction of the B-17.
This high-tech trike with a retro feel
went up for sale at the end of 2015
after Shatner had his fun with it.
(upbeat music)
Number four.
What's better than a trike with a V8 engine?
How about a trike with two V8 engines?
Oh, and by the way, both engines are blown.
Clearly, this is a bike that generates
a whole lot of power, although it's not very practical
and probably doesn't handle that well.
It does get high marks, though, for style
and weirdness, in addition to all the power
with all that shiny chrome.
(engine revs)
Number three.
You can tell that whoever built this trike
was a pro and put some serious time into it.
From the engine to the parts to the exterior,
it's truly a fantastic creation.
Be sure and let us know in the comments
which one you prefer.
(upbeat music)
Number two.
While the other big-engine trikes on this list
offer plenty of power,
the Rocket II blows them all out of the water
with its 1,000 horsepower engine.
The trike's power plant is a V8 426 Hemi
that's also equipped with a massive 871 blower.
Not surprisingly, a tremendous amount of work
went into building this unique trike.
It took creators Tim Cotterill and Michael Leeds
eight tries over the course of eight months
just to get the right handlebar to drag link setup.
(engine revs)
Number one.
There's nothing like having
a supercharged, two-stroke diesel V8
running between your legs.
You want raw badass power, hammer-forged nastiness?
The kind of machine-borne apocalypse
that looks like it was banned from the set of Mad Max
for being too ridiculous?
Forget that Harley Davidson.
What you need is a trike with a Detroit diesel V8 engine.
(engine revs loudly)
