First impressions, FUN!!!
I didn't go far but I did find that on the flat it is easier to go fast, just pedal faster and it goes. On that Sunday as a lot of you will know it was very windy that day. I did find that it was very vulnerable in cross winds. This might be something that you'd get used to if you were piloting it all the time.
At first I did notice swing of the long nose. But I found that with my "S" when I first got it but now take no notice. I just wish that I'd taken my jumper off before I got in, it get's quite hot inside with no wind to cool you down.
I found that it grounded on the front end quite a lot on uneven road surfaces and dips in the tarmac. Over a while this may cause holes but it may also be eliminated in production models by having a slightly higher underside to the nose. Sound wise it did magnify the bumps and was quite noisy, again something that you might well get used to.
I didn't get to do any fast cornering so I asked Neil about it. He said "You can lean in it but not as far as a normal trike therefore we tent to be a bit more careful on fast corners". As the York Racecourse is flat I didn't get to try it up or down hill.
If I had a garage to store it in and £5000 to spare I'd have one. (I'd have to buy a QnT as well as it's not made to fit the old "S") I think due to the hills I'd need an electrical assist in Plymouth.
I have put one of the pictures that Neil took of me in it on my facebook profile. When one of my friends saw it she said with the intent of taking the mick "is that the SRI version of your bike".
She didn't know how right she was.
Apologies if this doesn't make sense, it's my first ever review on something.
