Two Ducati 42107 alternative

[osterum]

Six months ago, after the start of sales of Ducati, I wanted to create an alternative. But from one set you will only get a motorcycle, since there are only two wheels, and those are of different widths. I want to build a motorcycle in the future, so it was decided to create a car from 2 sets. The panels suggested something futuristic.

Construction began with the gearbox. From two motorcycles, you can easily make 4 gears (you can do more using 2 switches, not 1, but the gearbox will be much larger and more expensive in details). The result was 3 forward gears and one neutral. Behind there is a limiter that does not allow you to switch gears in a circle, only N-1-2-3, 3-2-1-N. Learn more about working in the video.

Then the box began to be built around the frame, which was then attached to the suspension elements, engine, panels. Windshields of motorcycles formed the cockpit cover.

The steering handle is located in the cab. The gears are switched under the model, which is more convenient and efficient than anything else. The shift shaft is also extended forward so that the pilot can also control the box.

Next, I started designing, this stage took much less time than building the chassis. By the way, the model, in contrast to set, there are brake caliper. I think this is a necessary thing.

I believe it's a really unique MOC, I just love the idea that you used 2 Ducati bikes. Gearbox is nicely integrated and it looks futuristic enough. Great job!

It is pretty strange vehicle but I like its design.
