All Terrain Lounge is on the streets



That's right doubters! The Amphibious Couch Trike made it's maiden voyage a couple of nights ago with Limp Jimmy and Nancy Porker at the controls and Loose Brown and Two Humpz in the VIP seat!

The voyage was not without incident. Loose Brown applied a little too much weight behind the rear axle while standing on the stern as she rolled down the driveway for the first time. Upon hitting the kurb the couch lurched backwards with the front wheel lifting off the ground. Thankfully the anti-tip device came into play, and the couch was returned to three wheels.


We then put the couch through it's paces and can confirm it performed remarkably well. It will literally turn on a dime. It's exceptionally hard to tip (unless someone's standing on the rear section), and can handle corners with considerable speed. We cruised round the 'hood for nearly an hour.


Last night we added the floatation system, and floatation tests will be conducted this weekend. Farken eh!
