Eccentric Hydraulic Motorbikes

The Dryvtech 2x2x2 is Going Up For Auction On eBay

— December 8, 2014 — Autos
The Dryvtech 2x2x2 is an incredibly unique motorbike that is going up for auction on eBay. This motorbike features hydraulic two wheel drive as well as hydraulic two wheel steering, and was constructed by Australian inventor Ian Drysdale when he was a university student back in the 1990s.

The Dryvtech 2x2x2's name alludes to the fact that it is a two-wheel, two-wheel drive, two-wheel steering vehicle. It is equipped with a 250cc two-stroke engine that drives its expensive hydraulic pump.

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the bike is its two-wheel drive feature. Turning the handlebars for around five to eight degrees activates the front wheels; beyond that point, the rear wheels respond to the handlebars.

This feature allows the front wheel to counter-steer and reduce the rear wheel's effects at high speeds.
