    the front wheel tilt is actually pretty cool. pretty weird looking overall though.

    that looks like a lot of chain too. the chain doesn’t pass through the frame like a bike so I’d be interested in trying to do a belted igh build like this.

    I’m not sure who this is for - if someone is moving to a trike because they have balance issues, they’re not gonna be riding it on single track.

    I guess it’s just an alternative to a regular eMTB, just a different off-road toy. Nothing wrong with that. :) in a way it reminds me of the ski sled thing you sit on like a bike.

      I figure it’s for people with balance/mobility issues who want to do a little bit of off road or who maybe just have shitty roads where they live?

      I gotta say, on some of my roads you wouldn’t want to ride anything less than a MTB or gravel bike, road bikes would not reliably make it and you’d end up eating shit sooner or later if you tried to go fast.
