Honda Gold Wing Motorcycle Retriever Hauls Cars

Coming from a Swedish company called Coming Through, the Retriever is a recovery vehicle based on a motorcycle. Specifically, on a Honda Gold Wing GL 1800 specially built to recover most types of passenger cars, but that can easily be driven like any other motorcycle. The Retriever transforms easily from transportation mode to towing mode in less than 2 minutes.

The Retriever is designed to be operated easily by a single operator, who can keep an eye on the traffic while operating the towing unit thanks to a handheld remote control.

The Retriever is designed to minimize forces to transfer from the towing unit to the motorcycle. This is managed by the patented brake and steering system. The systems works together to eliminate the transfer of forces. As the rider
turns or brakes, the systems ensures that the steering and/or brake forces are managed by the towing unit.

The systems are operated fully with hydraulic and mechanical components and are independent from the motorcycle. This allows the Retriever to be ridden like any other motorcycle even though it is actually recovering a car.

Besides choosing the colour of your Retriever, there are a number of available extras, such as warning lights (a flashlight on top and one in the front) and a winch on the rear.

The superior agility of the motorcycle has been preserved in order to minimize the time immediately wasted as traffic thickens,” the company says. “The great benefit with the Retriever would be that it gets through traffic where conventional recovery vehicles are put to a stand still. The benefits of this are numerous. Depending on what perspective is chosen the consequence will take different forms.”
