    Any tipping forces that can't be handled by your legs will travel through your arms and be applied to the handlebars. Ever seen those folks who have their ATV's or motorcycles go tearing off due to lack of control when they trip and hang on to the throttle? Same sort of issue. And the accuracy and stability of the riders ability to apply control inputs to the handlebars is hampered by having a reference frame all the way down at their feet instead of through their spine (core) when sitting on a seat. If you extend your arm straight out and try to hold your hand still, and then repeat the process by stabilizing your elbow on an object you will notice how supplying a reference frame closer to the input greatly increases stability due to the decreased moment of motion. This is why seats are a good thing, not to mention rider fatigue...

    The price will be a major barrier for entry I understand they are a new start up but I figure with shipping the long range will be almost $30000 and yes some people or agency's may buy it no matter the price but it is out of the price range for your average consumer.

    This thing is simply designed to replace a horse, and going where a regular horse would go. 15:40 explained how the unit demonstrated was built for the military. This explains why the rider is standing, so it can go over rough terrain and if it was used for police work, would make the rider visible, and more imposing. This thing is a show of force and utilitarian at the same time, not really suited for recreational use.

    What happens if you need to cross a shallow stream of water, will the battery take it vs leaving you stranded in the woods? Ground clearance? Is there a reverse? Is the lock version feature not standard? Is there a physical key or phone as key an option? Will that ostrich neck collapse for easier transport?

    • @DishNetworkDealerNEO
      @DishNetworkDealerNEO 5 місяців тому

      You would want a physical key, as cellphones can run out of power while in the woods, leaving you stranded. Yes, a battery can go into water without getting water inside. Do what Tesla did to the CyberTruck, put a compressor with pressure regulator on the Vent for the battery and put just 5 psi in the battery to have positive pressure to ensure water stays out!

    I’m still hoping you guys will review some awesome brands of recumbent tadpole trikes. Many of which are now e-assist. Brands like Catrike, ICE (Inspired Cycle Engineering) TerraTrike, Trident Trikes, Greenspeed, Sunseeker, HP Velotechnik, Hase, etc. If you are reviewing e-mobility devices like the LyteHorse, costing up to $30K, while recumbent trikes can’t do all that this can, they are a real game changer for many who are tired of or cannot handle the back and wrist stresses that a regular upright bike inflicts. And they’re a hell of a lot of fun! I’ve put nearly 2000 miles on mine already.

      "The faster it goes the more stable it is." Well that's only going to appeal to people who can go fast. I for one have to go slow when I'm on my side by side because the terrain consists of abandoned furrows, and you don't want to take those too fast. But the side by side can maneuver fine at a slow speed.

    50 miles on an ATV is nothing. We would ride double that in a day. If you are doing back trails and long passages this would not be a good option. However if you did a hybrid version with a small generator to use to charge the batteries towards the evening while camping, that would work just fine.
