Yes it is more stable but you need more room to make the turn. The back end can get light during hard braking which can get the tail end out of shape a bit if your not careful. That said I think they are great. I would rather have my wife ride one to those than a standard bike. You won't fall over if you hit some sand or oil on the road. Plus it is one that I can ride with my heart condition without worrying as much. One draw back to them is storage. You need a good garage if you buy two of them. I sure can't park two of those in my shed like I can with regular bikes. You just have to weigh the pros and cons and see if you like riding them. I think you would be hooked if you took the test rides. Just remember the handling is a bit different than what your used to. Give it 20 miles or so and you'll be having a blast on them.]

Thanks for the good info. I know I've been seeing quite a few of these around in the last couple of years. Glad to know a bit more about them.
