 i would like to know how the outriggers work, do they automaticly drop when the brakes are applied or do you push a button for them to drop or what causes them to react?? neat concept but would really like more info. i am sure if demand rises and production increases the price will adjust. 
ENJOY!!!!! NEWT!!!!!

I saw a video of those not sure if it was on TV or where I saw it but the guy explain how it all worked. If my memory serves the out riggers trigger below a certain speed.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

OK the name flashed in the video, Ecomobile. But they looked more like Eggomobiles as they drove down the road. The outrigger could be useful for dogs chasing you, slow down and yipe!

Judging from how young Jeremy Clarkson looked in that clip, I would say it is at least 5 years old. As we haven't heard anymore about these since,I guess they didn't catch on!!

Am I using the wrong conversion table or do these things really cost over a hundred thousand dollars?
Maybe I'm alone but I look at this as a novelty and think an appropriate price point would be a tenth of that.

maybe there's something wrong with the universe!

You can get a preowned one for as low as $45,000 from that site. Looks like fun, but at a steep price.
Jeremy Clarkson is one of the greatest in my book.
