Good for doughnuts!
I shouldn't have ridden that stormy night after a little too much partying but I ended-up on a football field, all wet grass and started doing doughnuts and leaning the bike as much as I could until the rear wheel lost traction. That's hard, because the Golden Motors are strong but not that much. What was amazing was using the front wheel to keep me going. Front wheel drive has its advantages. Yeah! two throttles, but a lot of fun. Also works quite well with upward trails that are full of roots. You don't get stuck. Takes a lot of power from the battery and some pedal assist is in order, but the moment when by-passers realise that you're going uphill and pedaling backyard is priceless.
