Your link wasn't working so I edited it for you. Looks like it has the outrigger type wheels on the back. I've seen a couple manufacturers of them...one was callled Landing Gear I think.

Yep, just has those "landing" wheels. Don't know how they can call it a trike????

Had some of those on first bicycle and it was a hand me down.

I have seen those back in the day, they will go down/up at slow speeds or for backing up I think they activate around 3 mph or so. it also helps folks that can't hold there bike up well for when there stopped-- not sure why there calling it a trike

IS it me, or does it look like on the video I watched the guy pushes and holds them down with his feet?

[Cougar]

You are correct, they also make other types that will rise or lower auto and there more toward the rear of the bike. never seen this type before, that for the info on the video

I did not notice it on my first read.

On the video, there is only one outrigger and the guy does push it down with his foot and hold it to use it. The Goldwing in the ad has two outriggers. Luxury model? What happens if you have only the one outrigger and accidentally cause the bike to lean over to the wrong side? Looks like an accident waiting to happen!

yep - those are manual outriggers, ya gotta push em down with yer foot. kinda makes it a little difficult to use the rear brake
