Cop Cart's Three-Wheel Motion Coming Your Way

Posted November 20, 2006 4:39 PM

From PopularMechanics.com - Blogs: Automotive News:

The T3 looks like a film prop left behind from the set of a futuristic Hollywood cop movie. Yes, it's strange looking-and maybe a little dorky too. But you really need to ride this thing to appreciate it.

I read the article and see that the LA Police are buying them. We always knew that the LA Cops were the "New Centurians", now they have "New Chariots" to ride in standing up! I wonder, will we see T3 races at the LA Coliseum? I guess, instead of whips to beat each other, they can use their nightsticks! At 25 MPH there should be plenty of exciting action!

Meanwhile back on "the street", or perhaps down at "the beach", LA's Finest should have no problem catching those bad boy Segway joyrider's, since it's top speed is only 12.5 mph. But there is a new "Fast and Furious" foe out there, the Slipstream electric bicycle, with a top speed of 30, count 'em, 30 MPH! I guess the cops will have to pony up for the next generation T4 to counter this new threat!
