The only potential advantage over in-line two wheelers is that,
supposedly, it won't fall over. This could eliminate a whole class of
injuries and attract people who are scared of bikes and motorbikes.
But people will still get seriously injured in that thing in car-
loveseat collisions.


Instead if falling over, it would fall frontwards or backwards. Still
falling over.

And like a bicycle with training wheels; it's still a bicycle. The
reference is to the main wheels. We might as well really act stupid and
claim steering wheels count too.

Or... .you could say it has 4 wheels, which it does, All four are
essential to the operation. Or we could just be stupid and say those
round things that keep it stable are not wheels.. A bike with training
wheels has 4 wheels professor..

Now take your crossposting penis pullers and go back to your
engineering group where you can all measure yourselves and argue about
units of measure.
