Great to hear that you like it. So does Jackie Chan apparently.
Have you noticed any erratic behaviors emerging in the i2 using
a cut down, modified lean steer with different weight from the original?
How are the leg steer cups for stepping off, forward as well as to the back?
Does the machine keep rolling when you step off?
Do you feel fatigue if you ride for awhile with legs planted into the steer cups?
Pictures show Chan "balancing" on it with his arms out. Was that for show
or is there some need to have arms out?
Is there a time-breaking problem from full speed to zero?
Thanks for your thoughts. Mark1

As for Reinhard's unit. It is really built like a panzer. The lean control in much more heavy duty than the original handle bar. You have a lot of options in setting the height, width and fore aft placement of the saddles.
I like it a few solid inches over the knee.
I find that with the handle bar I could hit 15mph. With the lean control it really keeps you at 12.5. At first i found I would bend my body in half forward to try and get up to speed. But that is totally wrong and is all pelvis.
I've road on rough bouncy, grassy ground no problem. I want to hit the beach next.
Honestly I have zero complaints about Reinhard's system. It is a quantum leap from a cut down handle bar with plexi.
I still need a skid plate, heavy duty kickstand and a hitch kit for a riskshaw.
