It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
the front wheel tilt is actually pretty cool. pretty weird looking overall though.
that looks like a lot of chain too. the chain doesn't pass through the frame like a bike so I'd be interested in trying to do a belted igh build like this.
I'm not sure who this is for - if someone is moving to a trike because they have balance issues, they're not gonna be riding it on single track.
I guess it's just an alternative to a regular eMTB, just a different off-road toy. Nothing wrong with that. :) in a way it reminds me of the ski sled thing you sit on like a bike.
I figure it's for people with balance/mobility issues who want to do a little bit of off road or who maybe just have shitty roads where they live?
I gotta say, on some of my roads you wouldn't want to ride anything less than a MTB or gravel bike, road bikes would not reliably make it and you'd end up eating shit sooner or later if you tried to go fast.
Why this over a regular bike?
Typically people go for trikes when they have balance issues.
Huh, that's a good reason. Thanks!
