May 10, 201511 yr Congratulations to the Vertigo team and DL for their SSDT win, brilliant. The question that many may be thinking or already asked, will the Vertigo go into production? If so when and how much ?
May 10, 201511 yr The question that many may be thinking or already asked, will the Vertigo go into production? Yes If so when ? They plan for late this year and how much ? Nothing yet announed Edited May 10, 201511 yr by neils on wheels
May 11, 201511 yr Popular Post At last ! We have a businessman with a sound strategy owning/running a trials machine company! You have to admire the team that put this together and the way they brought it to us. It is fitting that they have done so well at the SSDT and proven a prototype before they take any money from the buying public for one. As a guy that designs and builds prototype manufacturing machines all the time, it is a luxury to be in the position of having so much time to get it absolutely right before it is used in anger and it makes all the difference. Total respect to the owner Manel Jane for his business nounce, To Dougie,James, all the other riders and the PR team that have done an amazing job to get it to this stage. Now the only thing to get right is the price, the distribution ,service and support and I can't see why it cannot become the best selling machine in the country Edited May 11, 201511 yr by atomant
May 12, 201511 yr http://www.janepushchairs.org.uk/ Wonder if they will use this distribution network?
May 13, 201511 yr http://www.janepushchairs.org.uk/ Wonder if they will use this distribution network? Doug Lampkin will be the UK Importer & Distributor. I'm sure he doesn't need our advice, but I rather suspect he'll prioritise established trials dealers over Mothercare for his retailers...
May 14, 201511 yr Doug Lampkin will be the UK Importer and Distributor. I'm sure he doesn't need our advice, but I rather suspect he'll prioritise established trials dealers over Mothercare for his retailers... Oh I don't know. If Mothercare had a Vertigo dealership, trials would be available to a much wider audience and would make shopping for baby grows much more fun! Neils on Wheels might just have come up with the business tie up of the decade!
May 14, 201511 yr Would it come with a bolted on pram if you ordered a sidecar outfit!!!! Congratulations to Dougie and team Vertigo on their great success in the Six Days.
May 14, 201511 yr Would it come with a bolted on pram if you ordered a sidecar outfit!!!! If it did I don't think it would stop Dougie winning SSDT #10 on one next year!!

But for the rest I couldn't agree more!
May 15, 201511 yr Is or is not Manel Jane (the funder of Vertigo) of the same Jane family that makes prams and some other domestic goods?

May 17, 201511 yr I suspect that there will b e quite a few who are disappointed that the Vertigo will not be appearing at the Y & G superstars trial the week after the Penrith WTC. The reason given is that they need to get them back to the factory to prepare them for the next WTC. I know these are development bikes but surely a quick chassis check and grease and transmission oil analysis should be all that is needed. I have previously questioned the merit of EFI and the electric water pump (both of which place critical demands on alternator) but one thing I think the Vertigo really needs is a good wrap round sump guard as fitted to the TY mono yams and Honda RTLs. Not only does this type of guard provide better engine side protection, it improves ground clearance and side clearance particularly at the front lower engine side area.
