Concerns:
- How do you haul these things around? I don't think I can get one on the BART train.
- How stable? I understand that they're pretty fast downhill...how resistant to flipping over?
- OK in traffic? They're very low, so not easy to see, wide, so they take up more room.
I put mine in my van. I actually leave it there all summer. It's easier than taking it into the house. You could also haul it in a station wagon.
Stable? For me very stable, mostly. At high speeds(over 40 mph) I have no fear of flipping it over unless I were to turn sharply. But you could flip a trike. I did by being stupid.
You would need to get used to the traffic. If you already ride in traffic, it'd be no big deal, unless you were on narrow roads/streets with heavy traffic. I get
much more room on my trike than I ever got on any two wheeled bike, including a bent.
