I wouldn't say it wobbles but when hands free, it will start to list left (fork side). I'm guessing it's to do with single fork design. So, no. You can't ride hands free, at least not for me. But if you have a core strength & balance of an acrobat, and are riding on totally flat smooth surface, it could be done? I dunno.
