It has good power and is pretty comfortable. The controls are easy to use. Guages easy to see and navigate through. Braking takes a second to get used to because there is only one foot pedal that E-controls all 3 wheels. Turning also felt very strange. Not just 90* turns but curves too. Almost like if i didnt lean deep into the turn, it was gonna through me off. For me, it lacked the bike-like feel that I would want from this type of vehicle. I felt like i was driving a retarded car. Driving for me is very boring and after 10 min I wanted the ride to just be over. The 15k + price tag also makes it unattractive.
It's definetly worth checking out though. |
So took one for a demo ride and have to say you make some good points. I def thought it was a pretty cool machine, and liked the vtwin growl. The seat was comfortable but weird at the same time, think it might be cus it felt like a snowmobile. Curves did feel weird, cus I caught myself leaning to feel comfortable. I can see where you got bored with it, I just thought it was cool riding something different so it kept my attention. Would love to demo a t-rex
here are some pics:
