'He's a superhero now.'"

My Little Tricycle Can Go 110 Mph / Meet the Spyder, a wicked 3-wheeled motorcycle/car mutant to make your id -- and your crotch -- tingle:

"Have you seen this thing? It's new. It's a giant, powerful, gas-powered trike. It's a three-wheeler, a Y-framer with two wheels up front, one giant one in back, ridden like a motorcycle but which apparently has comfort and stability approaching a car while still giving you (they say) the wind-in-your-face thrill of a bike but is roughly 50 times more stable and safe and easy to ride and you are therefore much less likely to accidentally lay it down while taking a sharp 40 mph turn in the city and lose your kneecap."
