From the picture, it looks like the pivot point at the rear of the Carver is very low - not above the trike's center of mass as the one
I'm asking about.

The pic looks really cool to me, so I had a quick look at the website.
They claim their lateral accelerations are very high for a narrow vehicle.
What makes the whole thing pointless in my opinion is the 8 secs 0-60. ???

You're such a tart Alex, wouldn't be caught dead in anything that slow. I don't think the point of it is to go that fast,
it's a rich mans' toy
