Are those stabilisers that come down on the sides? What happens if he pushes through between two lanes of cars at traffic lights and then has to stop?

how does it balance/steer I wonder, as it has a car seat fitted so you can't throw it around with your body weight..

Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

They tested it in Evo last month, and the owner was a bit too enthusiastic and put it onto its side without the wheels down... Ooops they seemed to
like it though.

Lovely things. They come from not far away from here. Two of them passed me on the autoroute the other day, very quickly and well cranked over.
Seriously impressive.

Now that looks like a toy 
I would guess that the stabilisers drop below a certain speed. Not hard technology wise and seems to make sense.

If it's what I'm thinking of they do, 15mph iirc. I'd also imagine that it's either a bit too wide to squeeze through traffic
or those stabilizers are only as wide as the vehicle itself.
