Correct me if I am wrong but I seem to remember someone here having such a motorbike, ultra low ground pressure balloon tired thing, it was very cool. May have been diesel and may even have been two wheel drive???

Could you mean the Ecorider bike?



From Scotland and sadly now defunct. Still pick them up on EBay though. Were fantastic.

I've seen loads of pictures of those ecoriders on hunting websites! they are very interesting!

Less ground pressure than a booted foot, huge range on a tank of fuel, will tow a trailer and not too noisy. Every user I've spoken too loved them, but quads were seen are more utilitarian and had a better dealership system.

I'd never heard of that bike until now to be quite honest. Thanks for posting! Looks very cool, are they two wheel drive like the Roxon too???

I'm afraid it's just a rear wheel drive, 120 miles per gallon diesel or petrol available, 25-30mph, 2 PSI ground pressure, 11 inch tyres, electric or pull start, early models didn't have front suspension. Can be made road legal but in simple state no licence or road tax needed.
