I can see that there is going to be a learning curve with that design.
It has the front wheel BEHIND the actual steering shaft.
Now what does that mean?

Any action to the steering handle is going to be exaggerated in a not to happy way!

Just had a friend that bought an E-Bike with the same set up.
At 18 MPH he took a spill and damned near killed him.
That set up for front wheel to steering geometry is just asking for trouble!

There is a well established reason Pedal Bikes and Motorcycles don't use that crazy design!
