I think that was just a proof-of-concept. Leaning trikes have been cleaning up at the HPV races of late, and this gives the Parkers something with which to compete in that field. The only advantage is that it's a 3-wheeler, so it competes in the trike class. AFAIK there isn't a plan to market it. And it gives NO extra stability when stopped; it flops over just like a regular 2-wheeler.
