However, one advantage of the Co-Mo's steering geometry was obvious to me within a few seconds of starting the test ride. I had to make a tight u-turn at a dead end and experienced one of those revelations people talk about. The Dale had required a lot of attention in such situations in that it would resist turning initially and once into it it wanted to cut in on itself and dump us. It was not a big thing but I had to watch for the point when I had to stop forcing it and start holding it back. The Co-Motion by comparison made the turn smoothly with relatively light steering effort on my part -- as though it was no big deal. YMMV.
