This sounds like a post I made a while back about a motorcycle as a bug out vehicle.

Back then the consensus was that the SUV was superior...now it seems to be opposite

I think it's a cool contraption. I could see the benefits of it over a bicycle but I'm curious to know which is more efficient. The bicycle is lighter and has less rolling and mechanical resistance...but the recumbrant pedalling style allows way less force to be wasted compared to a standard bicycle where you're pushing against gravity.
