Some gems there.  The last steam-powered model was quite effective.
I'd suggest the half-track version stay off-road, but very efficient there.
The V8 and gas turbine?  All "go for show" but not very practical.  I'm not sure about that split-wheel mechanism.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

The half-track version I do like but not being a two wheeled vehicle I don't think it should have been included.

That split wheeled one reminded me of a real life version of the lightbike in TRON https://youtu.be/kn4SUk6p1fg
