A top speed of 20 mph seems dangerously slow for public roads.
- gensym 13y agoI think that's why the article mentions "bike-lane legal". It sounds like it's trying to be a bike with a big cage attached and an electric assist. Personally, without the maneuverability of a bicycle, I can't imagine how it can be at all practical on US streets.
- ChuckMcM 13y agoMore of an enclosed recumbent bike than it is a 'car' so you could say "dangerously fast for a 3 wheel bike" :-) (tricycles are notoriously prone to flipping over because of the way they convert angular momentum.) I suspect it is a bit more fun than a golf cart though.
- jholman 13y agoMy understanding is that it's single-wheel-in-front trikes that are dangerous when cornering at speed. This vehicle has the single wheel in the back.
