    Ok, so this isn’t me but it’s a nice video anyway. Shows you what a scooter can do in the right hands. Maybe one day….

    I think the coolest thing about that machine for me is how the inside wheel can stuff itself up and the outter one drops in deep turns. Too cool.

    That is a cool scooter. I have never seen one like that on my country. I assume you don’t counter-steer as it has two front wheels.

    that is pretty wild. Man he is practically scraping every turn! He seem to have very good control and understanding about the limits of that scoot. Come on eon, you gotta one-up that vid…go off some ramps! ;)

    It counter steers like a regular 2 wheel bike. The steering is maybe a bit heavier than a regular bike so it needs a firm (counter) push when turning. At slow speeds (5mph) it is very easy to balance. So it is great for in town and as you can see, a lot of fun in the twisties. The guy in the video says he leaves his sport bike buddies for dead when it is wet. Having an extra wheel gives you 33% more grip so you can push harder in slippy conditions :)

    LOL…after watching that it got me wondering how far I lean over. It feels like I lean over that far but I never scrape the center stand (the first thing that hits the ground) so I know I am not going as far as I can. I have a horrible feeling I would look like a wuss next to that guy.
