This is plated and street legal, can you imagine seeing it in traffic?

First time I've seen an atom in person. They are supposed to be an absolute riot on the track!

They're both gorgeous! I would have loved to hear them rev the engines just once.

How is the plane car called?

The Ariel Atom doesn’t make me dream the way Caterham would, but the Fords are gorgeous.

I'm not sure what it is called. I thought I would be able to read it in the picture but I can't.

The Bearded Mechanic on YouTube just fixed one of these airplane bikes. I don't recall if he ever said what it was but it definitely looks identical and there must be info about it out there. You might be able to find more in this or his previous video working on it: https://youtu.be/Y6XEJkEg4D4?si=WHtv-EQprn8f_GIp

Edit: maybe this thing? https://jalopnik.com/the-pulse-autocycle-is-like-an-airplane-for-the-open-ro-1845943787

I was just paused that video to come here and see this at the top of my feed. Talk about coincidence.
