Jim Gesto has been a semi-truck mechanic for 50 years. He loves motorcycles but has long worried about their safety.
Gesto found that the most a vehicle could weigh and still be considered a motorcycle was 11,000 pounds.
This, according to a recent Business Insider report, led him to create the 10,900-pound Tower Trike.
It features a 320-horsepower semi engine and, despite weighing more than five tons, it can reach a speed of up to 85 mph.
According to Gest, it drives like a car, but rides like most trikes.
The prototype has taken him over five years to develop, but he hopes to start selling the Tower Trike soon – for about $159,000.
