They need to hire this guy to either sale these or be a spokesman for them. Never seen someone so passionate about their vehicle before. So awesome!
His speech is almost verbatim to what the company owner said on Jay Leno's Garage.
Cause he spent the money on it so he needs to justify it😂
I didn’t catch where he said there built. Did anyone else hear where there made or how many employees built them?
@@Jandyg handmade in utah
I wonder if Ken would let me test drive this. I’ll have to ask his brother Dave the next time I talk to him.
The truth is that everybody loves an pretty luxury open whell roadster like this. Don't mind it's three wheller, don't mind its four banger and dont mind it's fwd. It looks cool, the price is nice, its not old and weird and now i want one.
and it goes brap brap braaaaaaa on dino sauce!
I wouldn’t bat an eye to buy the Pontiac Prowler if it still exists and it’s affordable. I used to watch the series Night-man when I was kid and the car was the coolest thing.
@@MrMannyhw A dude in my neighborhood got one of them Prowlers, sees it every week during the summer, cool cars. Them also goes brap brap on diso sauce.
@@MrMannyhw Man Prowlers do look cool and unique, but aside from the auto tranny and van engine, the interior is such a hodgepodge of Chrysler econobox spare parts. Still, disappointing that no car makers take chances like that anymore!
@@TravisTerrell Yea but at least they tried. Interior wasn’t good but that why people customize it aftermarket and it’s a collector’s car now. Similar the Chevy SSR pickup was cool too. It’s better that some automakers tried to make things interesting unlike Toyota or Honda that all just made boring Econ boxes.
Reminds me of Jay Leno’s garage in how it was shot. Nice job
Hey thanks
If we're being honest, that dude looked pretty nervous when Sean started driving, haha. Great video!
He’s looking for a grab handle that isn’t there.
Nah, I've test driven one of these, they are very easy to drive and very stable.
@@mrvwbug4423 Tuned. AND he could had Sean drive the whole review. Values and the things...Nah, never mind. lol
I overlooked the statement about the reason for not adding a manual trans. And someome addresses it. But when he saisd aomething about it soundimg like a p-51 spitfire i could not stand it any longer. It's a p-51 mustang, dipstick0
.this guy is so ful of bs i can smell it from here?
This guy really knew his specifications about his CAR..
Yeah great video but his non-stop talking really tired me out ha ! ha !
I was impressed by his recall, knew his stuff. Great video.
🗣Extreme OCD ...🏎
Besides the fact that he said it's stock 180HP which is wrong it only has 138 HP stock
@@mattgreen9323 he did say his tune is supposed to add like 100 horse... He lost me at 250 ft lbs of torque though.
Every time I see a Vanderhall video I feel bad for you Flatlanders. I need to make my own video here in my Vandy Venice on the SoCal canyon & mountain roads. If you think this is fun on your flat roads then you'd really have a blast out here. And for all of you commenting here about what's the point or why not just get a good bike, all I can say is you don't know what you're missing until you try it. I've ridden motorcycles all my life (about 40 years) and this is a totally different experience -- in a really good way. It's like driving a go-kart on the highway & at 80mph you feel like you're going 150, since you're so low to the ground. It's got the openness of a bike and being so low that you can literally reach out and touch the road, you feel a rush of speed that you just don't feel the same way when sitting up on the seat of a motorcycle. Bottom line -- try it before you close your mind to it. And watch for my canyon-carving video -- coming up soon, I hope!
the "so low to the ground" is awesome, but it's also a bit nerve-wracking, I'd think.
I saw a guy driving one here in north-side of chicago during rush-hour. 4 lane major traffic route. He was in the right lane, i was in on my bike in the left. Van in front/next to the Vandy. Stop and go traffic; but the van stopped creeping up, and let a car turn left across him. Vandy almost got CRUSHED, because there was absolutely no way the turning car saw him, or he seeing the car. What type of precautions can you take? At least a motorcycle you have a lot more maneuvering room, and your head is sometimes as high/higer than a car in front of you.
@Ross Kutzler I wouldn't deny that the Vanderhall can have a big problem with visibility, as in being seen by others. But there are pros & cons when being compared with motorcycles -- it may not have the agility or maneuverability of a bike but in those cases where a biker might be thrown off, or go sliding down the asphalt, the Vandy's seatbelts and rollbars could very well keep its driver living for another ride the next day. So, is it safer than a bike? In some cases, yes. Can it scramble out of a dicey situation as well as a bike? Not by a long shot. But here's how I handle that -- I tend to stay off freeways (expressways/interstates, depending on your geography), keep a close eye on tall vehicles, and sometimes take comfort in the seatbelt and rollbars -- all while knowing that there's no fun without some risk. But I love that go-kart feeling...
You're absolutely right I own 3 Harleys and have been riding 54 years and I just bought one of these machines. The fun factor is off the chain, just like any low profile vehicle you have make yourself be seen but this thing is a blast.
You can definitely put a manual in that without a transmission tunnel you just need to run clutch lines and shifter cables to the cabin( idk what that salesman is talking about a Cruze has a manual transmission option that's the same size as an auto)
my thoughts exactly, with a transaxle you only have to route the clutch/shift linkages/cables. I bet the real reason why they didn't offer the manual option is Vanderhaul didn't want to stock an many different parts
And I think they should have
@@BikesandBeards I agree, since I find a manual gearbox more engaging to drive and certainly more fun on twisty roads. That said, in the North American market fewer than 6% of new cars are sold with a manual, so they probably figured there wouldn't be much clientele for them. On the other hand the Ford Focus ST and RS were only offered with a 6-speed and they sold quite well (I know I wouldn't trade in my RS).
Mount the shifter on the dash like some minivans.
My Mitsubishi chariot is like that and it feels pretty normal.
I made a comment before I read this.
why would you want to decrease the 0-60 time? Sorry fit a manual to go slower? Is that what's selling fast cars at the minute? Bump shift lets you fly up and down the gears at your own pace although it's fast, so maybe you should consider that manual option.
P-51 spitfire.
He must be a Chevy Ford kind of guy.
Lol
P51 is a US Spitfire/Rolls hybrid of the Pbirds.
@@STho205 it is definitely not a spitfire hybrid. Same engine as the spitfire but a completely different airplane. Would a Cessna and a beachcraft be hybrids of each other just because they have a Lycoming engine?
Josh Sedgwick. The initial ones used a Packard substitute for the Merlin. The Bs in 1942+ used the Merlin or the Packard copy. Both the P40 and P51 were primarily designed for the RAF for sale. They both used browning machine guns instead of cannon.
*Since he is talking sound, then the 51 and the later Mark Spitfires did sound alike on their 12s* . They overall looked very much alike, not using radial engines with NACA cowls. Much more alike than a Mk1 spitfire and a P40, also made primarily for RAF sale. One was an interceptor and the other a long range bomber escort, so they had different purposes, but were more alike than any two planes from different countries in WWII.
It is a borrowed and adapted design on both sides to serve the multiple needs of one air force.
@@STho205 they may have looked alike with the cowling and had the same engine and even guns but they are still two different airplanes made by two different manufacturers. They had completely different wings as well, p51 having a laminar flow type wing which made way less drag and made it way faster. The tail end is completely different. Cockpit different, internals different. Different airplane.
You can argue similarities till you turn blue in the face, the fact remains they are very different airplanes.
The truth about this motorcycle is that it isn't a motorcycle
blame the government for that definition NOT vanderhall (I don't own one by the way)
I've always wanted a sport ATV designed and legal for the street. Like city use. Like a Honda trx450R with a cbr600RR powertrain and some sticky R compound tires and a lower stance. Something I can never legally ride on the street because of dumb federal regulations.
Course it’s not a motorcycle it’s got a steering wheel that’s what I thought adding an extra wheel to it or a rear axle would be the cats ass
And much safer to
Driftomaniacs oops
I just discovered this trike and yours was the second video I have seen on this unique trike. Great video and because he is the owner driver you two nailed it.....
With a modern 4 cylinder turbo Chevy who could ask for more....
As always, fantastic video Sean! Ken is proof that if you build something nice your customers will be your best advertising! Ken really is a great spokesman for Vanderhall and I don't think he's even paid. I think Ken deserves some stuff sent to him by Vanderhall! Thanks for treating us to something many, including myself, didn't know about!
Not to be picky, but a P51 Spitfire ? They never existed, the vehicle itself looks like a lot of fun. Thanks brother, another one to try and collect.
My dream recreational vehicle. Reliable, fast, exciting, and affordable. The bump shifter that mimics a manual stick was a great idea. I'd choose that option.
I'm glad you got to do a review of the Vanderhall. I mentioned that to you before in a live video. Looks like a fun ride.
This is legit the best review I've seen. I'd love to see you guys mod one and add like a roof, luggage rack, etc
Our local shop has these.... great video I am gonna have to go for a test drive now thanks for making this........... very informative!
Absolutely the best looking 3-wheel vehicle I've ever seen.
I work across the street from the vanderhall plant. I see them all the time and they never get old. The craftmanship on them is beautiful
That was cool. I like when you show and tell. I like to learn new stuff, and things, and see new things, and stuff.
Great content! I like the way the future is going. ;-)
I had one and it does have a decent ride to it. Being paralyzed it had more than enough room for my wheelchair. I just missed the physicality of riding a bike so I sold it for a Spyder F3-T. For myself the Spyder's more comfortable. Would definitely prefer 2 wheels though
I watched this video video the other day. I've never heard of them before, and never seen one. Then yesterday, I see one in my small town in Conneaut, Ohio. I got to see it in person, and they are pretty neat. Great videos!
I’d love to race ken in this. I’m curious how it looks now that I believe he has it wrapped.
Seriously considering one of these. Thinking the electric version would even be better for me since it would just be a play thing.
that new vanderhall carmel looks pretty nice. looks like it has the paddle shifters also.
I wouldn't mind this being 4 wheels. Having a small displacement V8 engine, RWD and have an aero kit on it. It would be like an old late 60's Formula 1 car for the street.
I think the 3 wheels "motorcycle" classification is how they're running around the safety requirements that would come about if somebody tried to build that. Atom gets around it by having it classified as a kit car, and I believe there is some sort of dance that happens where the first owner does some of the assembly or something.
Or you could just buy a v8 arielle atom
What you're really saying is I'd really like one (if everything about it was different) LOL
"I'd really like it if it was an AC Cobra"
@@deelcody I know this is late but the Atom aint shit unless you don't have the money. The BAC Mono is where it is at. czcams.com/video/LLt9jakRd5A/video.html
Great video, loved it! You could tell the owner had a penchant for this piece of kit. Gotta love the thrill of desire to fuel innovation 🙂👍
Wow I agree seems like a bargain at 30k very cool and the owner really knows his stuff and explained everything extremely well fantastic video.
You do not have to drill with vanderhall luggage rack. It mounts with the bolts that are around the fuel cap.
niiice
It's been noted that the vanderhall is clearly faster than the slingshot with regards to the 0-60 numbers. The only reason the vanderhall shows a slow 0-60 stat in this video is because of the extra passenger. No bias here since I own and love the slingshot. I am very interested in completing the ying to my yang by getting the electric vanderhall when it finally comes out to compliment my slingshot.
Awesome review! This guy knows 10x more than the dealers around dallas. I have a Spyder and it’s a totally different ride than my bikes. 👍 to the non skinny jeans
I binge watch your vids you are one amazing honest guy and i wish you all the success in the world.P.S as a Biker myself from uk its fascinating to me and that retro rare yamaha 250 reminds me of my old VT 250 f but that was a Honda of course .
"Kinda looks like a Lotus 8." I believe he might be referring to the Lotus 7, especially the Super 7. All this front-wheel vs. rear-wheel discussion will be moot if an electric three wheeler with all wheel drive comes out.
P-51 Spitfire Lotus 8? It seems to me that driving a Vanderhall might be so much fun that it's mildly intoxicating. :-p
turbos are fun to drive. just recently bought my first and thinking id like to stick with these. lots of power.
I just order one and I’ve been watching videos trying to get as much info as I can. I must say this has been the most informative video I’ve seen thus far !
Cool to see they are cheaper now, I went to Vamderhall and did all the base mapping on my sonic for these to get tuned at BNR. They offer a larger turbo now too. We had a good time with it.
I saw a couple of these for the very first time just a couple months ago and thought they looked very cool. Retro yet modern, and pretty sleek. Saw one on the road with a couple bikes in a small group just a weekend or two ago. It’s definitely head-turning. I’d still rather have a bike, but if I couldn’t ride on two wheels for some reason, I’d consider this or a Spyder.
Great video!!
That’s so cool. I was just on their website two days ago then today I just saw this video. It’s cool how those kind of things happen.
I like how the cantilever pivot is a fwd wheel bearing assembly
Make a lightweight body and any engine would shine. Since it's an Automatic, it's a different type of vehicle. Normally superlight vehicles are track weapons but this one is a totally different experience. Thanks for sharing it Sean. Also get well soon, I can see you still have that cold.
Thanks I’m trying to but it’s lingering around
I think this channel has some of the best viewers on youtube
Loved this type of episode!
I own a Ridley speedster.....only about 1000 made...nothing on you tube about this little motorcycle....
Can you find one and do a episode like this on a speedster? Cheers Rob.
Bring me yours
@@BikesandBeards Speedster and I are both in New Zealand.....can you find one a wee bit closer?
I saw one of these at work yesterday and then you guys post a vid about one. Kinda crazy. lol
I just saw one of these over at a local Harley Dealer on Long island, so sick!!
Haven’t seen too many on Long Island just yet. Tons of slingshots though lol
I was at the MC Rally in Sturgis in August. You could test drive them. Somebody was ripping up 14A toward Deadwood in one and lost it. Serious crash. Had all sorts of emergency crews dealing with the injured. They are pretty powerful.
P51 Spitfire?!
ACMEmouseTRAP I know, annoyed the hell out of me too. P51 MUSTANG!!! The spitfire is British!!!
Provo, Utah not "Proval".
I love your videos guys. It is so refreshing to see a great group of people that love Jesus and have created a Business around what they love while being genuine and not afraid to express their beliefs. Keep it up. I will be praying for you guys and hopefully one day I could meet you guys.
My brother just a couple of weeks ago took delivery of his 2020 model... He loves it!
You can 100% have a manual without messing anything up. A ton of fwd cars have cable driven stick shifts, so there's no transmission near you.
I really enjoy watching you guys, driving that wonderful machine
This Vanderhall suddenly reminded me of Suzuki's GSX-R/4 Concept car that I saw in past Gran Turismo games. And speaking of the GSX-R/4, what happen to it?
ZnM Cycle in Greensburg Pa sells them
Sean, your helmet is funny! :+) It's nice!
Cool, I would love to modify one to a mid, single seat. Get a Warbird theme happening, and take her out to the windy coast roads....
I dont know why but this looks like a sidecar that you can drive
Haha it really does.
More important reason to make this a FWD is that on a trike, CG needs to be at the geometric center of the triangle between the wheels or roughly where the knees of the driver is in this case. It is difficult tomake a reversed trike, with two front wheels without getting extreme oversteer, as usually occupants sits too close to the single rearwheel. Putting the engine in the front solves that.
Impressive looking vehicle, Provo or the Silicon Slopes is a tech center, but I had no idea they were building vehicles up there
The grandaddy of all these things is of course the Morgan, but more recently a firm called Grinnall in the UK was making (might even be still doing so) a three-wheeler called the Scorpion powered by a BMW K-series engine. I had a ride in one at a show and holy shit that thing flew! At an indicated 110 you do literally feel like you are flying. don't knock 'til you try it.
Love your verses. Trucker John McKinney here.
@18:18 “ it sounds like a P51 spitfire” what the heck is a P51 spitfire........?😂
I like the looks of it but it’s out of my price range and the seating is very narrow. I haven’t seen one on the road yet but they do look cool
Wow this thing seems like a different monster. I’ve been looking at the Ariel Atom 4’s and even was considering trying to buy yours, Sean! Lol I may go this route instead, especially with the tune this guy was talking about. The Atom 4 is making about 350bhp with upgraded package and 320bhp with the base engine package. Not to far off from this with the tune, not to mention about $50-$70k cheaper than the Atom 4!
I was just out a Whites HD like a week ago, and was surprised they had the Vanderhalls there. Wonder how it rides on the snow
Lol yeah me too
Being front wheel drive shouldn't be bad. I'd imagine the rear prob slides straight when turning a corner. Traction wise though it'll go np I bet.
jerry tuned my sonic back in like 2016, really brought that car to life. you can see how fast this is compared to a sonic. it may have the same drive train but with the weight difference that's a completely different animal. I have a 40-100 pull posted you can compare the two. Good looking ride guys!
Other than the HP and torque numbers he thinks it has, great review. Looks like a blast. 😎
That is super unique! Cool!
And an edit, that's the only 3 wheeler I'd buy. I don't like the others, this is more like a restomod... I'd just want a manual.
Am I the only one glad to see Cyclecars making a comeback?
LOL love how you showed him what a waste gate was he says it dosen't have one lol he just never put his foot in it .
Fantastic video!
Always liked these Vanderhalls.. great video, very explanatory.
Thanks for the weekly Proverb.. this one particularly fit my situation.
God still speaks.
He says "there's so much room in here" meanwhile, it looks like they are sharing a shirt sleeve. Lol
17:55 Seen lots of dashcam crash videos and Idiots in Cars, and was waiting for the white SUV to come out at the wrong moment. I'm glad it didn't really happen.
Almost like an Elio- except it actually exists. And, it has a real world price that is FOUR times what the Elio people imagined they would be paying. What a scam. The amazing thing is there are STILL people who are convinced they will be getting their Elio THIS year. Incredible.
I've been following the Elio saga for a while out of curiosity. You have to wonder who it's marketed to. It's not a performance vehicle so the moto crowd is out. The virtue-signalers are already in electric vehicles. Those for whom money is a concern (gas prices, cost of cars) are likely limited to a single vehicle and would need something with a bit more versatility as far as cargo and passengers. It would seem more suited to European countries with their narrow roads, high gas prices, and steep taxes on vehicles that are based on price, size and fuel economy.
That, and the MPG rating and price might as well be infinite, since there's been no EPA testing or production-ready model. People should have known better than to put down a deposit on a vehicle from a new company with no operational manufacturing, no sales network, nothing to back up price or performance claims, and a delivery date promise that's been pushed back multiple times.
@@channell11 Well said.
Think all Harley dealerships are selling Vanderhall's now...both dealerships in Long Island, NY have them and the one in Queens. Still leaning towards the Slingshot...but this video def gave me some more information I was looking for.
I seen one like this at a Philly gas station all customized with a loud sound system.
My motorcycle dealer just got these in last month very cool!
Indian dealership in Knoxville, TN sells these. Very cool.
Did I just see jay Leno's garage hipster style?
I've drove both a Polaris and a vanderhall have to agree. These are much more refined.
Was waiting any second for ed bassmaster to come out and say would you look at that
Battlefield Harley in Gettysburg also sells Vanderhall in the same location
Where did you get the wind wings attached to the windshield? Do they help?
I tried out a sling shot was ok driving but easy to oversteer not easy to get out of.
1. Props on the dope Crocs (Crocs for Life!) 2. This thing is sick and you should get one.
Crocs, ughhh...
Don't hate
@@mrstudiodaddy I just have to...
“When he designed the lights” aka got them from china off of eBay...
I think its fair to say SRK Cycles is responsible for the impending influx of sales for vanderhall and most likely the cause of them to at least double or triple their production within the following weeks.
A good friend of mine is in a wheelchair and this (with hand control conversion) would be perfect for him. Easy entry/exit, open air, can cruise with bikes, and all it needs is a bigger turbo and a NO2 shot.
Where did you get the information that they've had an influx of sales?
@@zabnat impending is defined as "about to happen". Having this company/vehicle featured on a channel with hundreds of thousands of subs will introduce it to a large consumer demographic that otherwise wouldnt have known about it or had such a thorough review of nearly every component or option offered either from factory or aftermarket.
Great idea about the limited mobility user. It would be great to see a lightweight wheelchair solution in something like this. Since it is already very low and has no structural hard side, you could put some sort of an articulating foldable side ramp and have a nice one seater for a wheelchair, powerchair user. Someone please invent this. Databyter
@@Databyter It was just conceptualized in an idea, and sometimes thats all it takes. They're sold next to Harley Davidsons and that would be my choice company to collaborate a build with.
A regular hinged cardoor would be simple to fit and many people of limited mobility would easily be able to slide from a chair to the cockpit and back without issue, There are manual and hydraulic chair crane arms(like ones installed in pickup truck beds.) Weight saving and simple and chair can be stored where passenger seat is or at luggage rack location as most travel chairs will collapse in the middle. Change out wheel for hand controlls and its done.
That could be a few hour conversion and help get Harley Davidson back to all American Made
@@mattpfeifer9302 It's great you have faith that their video is going to get lots of views, but the vehicle has already been featured in videos which have hundreds of thousands views and one has 1.5 million views. But you never know, maybe this channels 80k subs are more of the target audience.
Looks like a nod the British design. I like this, looks like fun
so weird I seen this video and the very next day seen one of these sitting outside of a used dealership when i was looking for a part!
MAN THIS AMAZING.
Interesting video on a nice vehicle. I am sure it will register as a car here in Norway, and you can drive it on a car license and probably without a helmet on!
I look at this and I go back to my creative days and that would be bad ass if you added another wheel in other words make it into a little formula vee Only with front wheel drive I’m not sure if the geometry would work but it would be fun to try
If you like the vanderhall have you tried a morgan 3-wheeler?
Front wheel drive is a great idea and you are right the slingshot goes from tranny to driveshaft to bevel gear to belt. These are now being classified as Autocycle rather than motorcycle. Not that it really matters. Reverse trike by their nature will understeer which is a good thing.
FYI; a P-51 would be a Mustang, not a Spitfire... Spitfires were in the RAF
I went to check one of those out at Pocono Harley. My shoulders are so Wide that my right shoulder was almost in the middle of the passenger seat lol.
The slingshot is a way better option even with a rear wheel drive! It is a wild ride and we'll give you much more boost power with turbo and computer options.
What makes you say that it's a"much better option"? I'm not disagreeing, just genuinely curious.
@@jordanjohnson7264 I'm assuming because it's rwd and has a bigger engine (a 2L I believe)
@@jordanjohnson7264 much cheaper overall option even if you go with a $3,000 Turbo upgrade which can be done for much less. Bang for your buck you get a lot more with a slingshot.
That is a very cool Machine!
blurring the lines between what defines a car and a motorcycle... this is the best example I've seen of both combined together effectively!
