I saw this puppy at the Montreal Auto Show. Looks very promising.

First reaction was "too weird".

But I'm coming around to kinda cool.

Saw one of these on I-5 in Sacramento about a week or so ago - it was pretty odd looking.

I wonder if it steers like a car, rather than banks like a bike. I almost put a sidecar into a wall because it wouldn't countersteer, and many of the accidents are from that confusion at that critical moment.

2 wheels up front would give it great brakes but I can't see it cornering any better. Under hard cornering, would it hold up the bike when the rear wheel slid out?

Probably be easy to do some drifting with two wheels keeping the front planted and only one to break loose in the back...
