This site is for those of you that that are not just sheep that buy vehicles from manufacturers that are themselves just following the flow of boring fashion. These are vehicles designed from first principles with a clean sheet of paper. These vehicles redefine what vehicles can do and how they should be made and most importantly ridden. Sheep should not enter this site, you have been warned. Return to Monty’s index page |

“I have to say absolute hand on heart I’ve never had so much fun in a car really and truthfully” “And I don’t think I’d ever get tired of it!”. This is from a man who claims to hate motorbikes ! see You Tube links below
It's hard to put in words, really... Formula car 1 driver Jenson Button's smile when he put the Carver One to the test pretty much says it all, and if not, his final verdict does: "... absolute madness… fantastic!" See Jensen Button’s ear to ear grin in the You Tube video below.
Cabin motorcycles for 365 days a year motorbiking, and even more fun than motorbiking
The Carver provides a maximum tilting angle of 45° and a maximum tilting speed of 82° per second. This tilting speed figure is an important characteristic, as it describes the promptness of cornering, especially in a chicane or lane change situation. As a reference: on a conventional motorcycle, tilting speeds of this magnitude can only be achieved safely by highly experienced racing motorcycle riders.
