Looks not retractable to me, but just two small fixed wheels.
" It has 4 wheels, two motorcycle wheels and two small outrigger wheels one on each wing. The outrigger wheels provide balance for the vehicle while it is at rest or while in a turn."
"Only one of the two outrigger tires touches the ground at a time. Because of this it is considered a 3 wheeled vehicle and is normally licensed as a motorcycle."
But in this picture I could say 4 wheels are touching the ground. Or not???
I wonder if the took the glass from retired jet planes.
