It's basically an elongated motorcycle with a steering wheel. The outrigger wheels are on either side. The suspension is set up that either outrigger wheel is barely just off the ground, so in cruising only one outrigger will be be touching the ground but you can't really tell which one. It keeps it in a completely vertical position at all times. There is no leaning into turns. At any given moment it is a trike which is why i think it fits here.

The original ones were handmade which goes to show how simple it is. Some had 600-1000cc engines. One i believe did get 100mpg, but i'm not sure what size the engine was.
