Since it's not mine, I haven't been really keen to do a lot of research. Anyone want to give me a quick down-and-dirty review of the Eclipse? Just looking for advantages, things to be aware of, routine maintenance that differs from a regular bike.

I know it's a pretty vague request but I literally know nothing about how these bikes work.
