My neighbor bought this to commute on. He road it a few times and did not feel comfortable on it so he asked me to help him sell it. It has 113 miles on it. It fell over in his driveway and put a couple of scratches on it, (see picture). It has a big storage area under the seat and a trunk as well. It has all of the options on it including a button that locks the front wheels as you slow to a stop so you don't even have to put your feet down at a light. It was $8600.00 out the door. He is asking $7500.00 OBO. His name is Chris and you can call him direct at 770-367-3731. I have ridden this thing a couple of times...the grin factor is high. I would love to take it up to 129.

Because having 3 wheels does not excuse it from the laws of physics.

I was going to ask the same thing. They're supposed to be near impossible to tip over.

No, they will fall over just as easy as any 2 wheeled bike if the lock is not engaged.
