Good question. It does look like a neat ride, just have to question what it would do when you hammer hard into some switch backs. Bet it lifts a wheel and makes you want to soil your BVDs'. Looking at that last picture of it taking a right turn it looks like the left tire is onto the inside portion of the tire and the right has made full upwards travel. Take the corner harder and I'll bet it lifts that left tire, what it does when it gets it lifted might be nothing or it might give the rider reason to clean out his shorts or make you wish you had put on a pair of these 1st .

 

I agree with you on that it is a very nice looking trike. I would certainly hope it is more stable than it looks. I also don't understand the jiffy stand. Even in the old days the 3 wheelers back then did not need a jiffy stand.

 

It is a nice looking set-up but I too just don’t get 3-wheels and a Jiffy Stand.

I'd like to ride that trike!

 

+1 on the ride. I would really like to see how it handles.

 

I love it! the fact that it can lean into corners is very intruiging to me. i would give anything to lean into a corner again but due to my accident i never thought that would be a safe, viable option for me, again. the jiffy stand indicates that the rear suspension is free moving and as such will not maintain an upright stance. that's what i see anyway.

i am interested in the lean angle and how the suspension design. this is something that i would seriously consider for myself if proven to be a safe option. could i get some more info?

i just went to the website. a little hard to navigate as most of it is in japanese, but i managed to find a link to a video. please don't make fun, but i almost teared up at the thought of being able to lean again. i know it doesn't seem like much to many of you but it's a big deal when it is taken away from you forcefully, rather than a conscious choice. anyway, if anyome from this company can send me a message about this product, i would love to talk about it.
