Unique And Interesting Sidecars.
We aren't enthusiastic about bikes nor do the sidecars interest us, but what got our attention is the VW Van Sidecar, which looked truly impressive and gave us an idea to compile a post on sidecars. The next best thing that happened to us was coming across the 'Camper Sidecar' that looked really special and unique. And then later we came across a few interesting sidecars such as the Vespa Sidecar, Roadrocket, "Utility" Sidecar, Basket-Work Sidecar ………… and many more. We are sure that if you are among those who like bikes, then this is something that is sure to get your attention, have a look.

Camper Sidecar:
E Pols presented a folding camper sidecar that was fastened to a Honda Goldwing at the Dutch Motorcycle Show "Tweewieler RAI" of February 1976. All it took was about 30 seconds to unfold the sidecar and transform it into a spacious frame tent by the demonstration team. Though in actual the whole procedure would probably take about two minutes. Complete with draw-out kitchen, the sidecar weighed 120 kg; fully laden the weight was about 170 kg. All that is needed to unfold the tent was first to open the lid and place it on the ground, then straighten the inner frame and tighten the lines and its done. The camper had double bed and the pull-out kitchen came with gascooker and washbasin, and the kitchen could also be used without unfolding the camper. And most importantly, camper sidecar used the same frame as the passenger sidecar P1.

white scooter is an old lambretta.
I'm surprised you omitted this one...
http://www.bmw-club.org.uk/~midland/motorcyclehearse.htm
Agreed, anonymous. Its a Lambretta LD150 from about 1959-1961. (I had three)
@ Tepid Halibut, we did miss a good one ;)
I think I saw the 'Roadrocket' ones in a motorbike mag and they said that the sidecar was actually an airforce surplus casing. Cool MZs on these ones, highly underrated bikes...
With respect, the Lambretta is not an Ld150 (made as you say until '59). the Lds shape differed in several respects. It is an Li Series 1 (headlight on legshields, not bars as per series 2) circa 1960. Almost certainly the 150cc (as opposed to the 125; I mean - surely?).
The ultra-rare TV 175 series 1 looked identical, but (I theeenk) had little shockabsorbers on the front suspension. Not trying to be a know-it all, but was there ('Mod' in London '66 onward), had one (3 Lambs in all: Li series 1, Li series 2, Tv series 2) etc. Still ride (GSX1400 - a bit more poke but.... much less fun). PS, if my memory has played tricks and I've got all the above wrong, I humbly apologise :)
I recently bought an alco sidecar. Wabasha minnesota. anyone know anything about this one. rmelds@gmail.com
The thing behind the black Triumph Tiger is a trailer, not a sidecar.
