Looks like fun, but looks dangerous on the road.

It probably gets good gas mileage!
Anyone using the term Babe Magnet. Needs more help than any car or motorcycle can provide.
Yup, look like fun. Probably a tiny bit safer than a bike, but I'd hate to tangle with a truck.
THere was a better one made a few years ago that had two wheels in front and one wheel in the back. It leaned as well. Two wheels in front is a more sensible arrangement. Steering and braking are functions of the front wheel contact patch(es). One wheel in front is a little spooky, in my opinion.
Nice, but can it pull my 5000lb. boat out of the ramp and back home? Where do I put the wife and groceries? Its a toy, like a trike. Messerschmidt had something like it in the 50’s, and it died in the car market.
That is too cool! I would love to carve up to the top of Mt. Evans in that thing! However, I would still keep the Charger Hemi for Friday lunches; I have to keep my carbon footprint up! ;-)
How much does it weight, for towing behind my Minnie Winnie? What kind of milaegae does it get in normal city driving? Can it be hooked up to tow behind a motorhome?

This could do well in parts of europe where you still see quite a few scooters and motorcycles (although less and less over the passing years).
Gotta be a contortionist or really short to use the back seat.
Pack a tent.
Says they will not be available in N. Am until 2008. Oh well ...
