I realy like this it looks totaly cool. Looks like the sportcycle i built but cooler. Price is wayto high $39,900 . I biult my sportcycle for less than $10,000 less than $5,000 not counting the bike. But it is way cool if you can’t build something your self. Jeff

i drove the can am spyder a few weeks ago, and i am not a fan of this set up for performance driving. lots of reasons. but the handling is the main thing. the balance between front and rear traction is completely off. any kind of spirited driving resulted in wheel spin. steering felt extremely twitchy. no confidence at all.

wind protection on this would be better. lower center of gravity would help confidence. but i still think you’d have driving traction issues, especially with that giant wing on the front.

two wheels > three wheels

I really don’t know. I’ve sort of thought it would be ok with some creative weight distribution. I would expect some degree of throttle-off oversteer, but power-on cornering could probably be controlled with proper suspension setup. Weight distribution would probably be similar to a 2 seat fwd car, minus one wheel and associated hardware.

I guess the only concrete answer would be to build it and see

Without any rear downforce to compensate, that wing is just going to lever the drive wheel off the ground
