    Oh yes. You think it looks like fun? That doesn't come close to
    describing it.

    Imagine: riding hard into a corner, lean in, and pull the lever for
    the back brake. Feel the back end swing round in a perfect 180
    handbrake turn, , pile on the power and zoom off in the opposite
    direction. Repeat until your jaw aches from grinning.

    My kids love them too.

    Got the cash? Buy one. You won't regret it Tell the guys I sent you,
    they might give me a discount :-)

    What it is not: a sensible trike. You can ride it on the road, and
    the makers have done so (fit Stelvios and it runs fine), but these are
    mad machines for doing mad stuff, and you'll shred those expensive
    tyres doing stunts. You won't be able to stop yourself...

    I have a trice as a sensible/comuting machine (not even allowed to do
    that now after the wife had an accident and banned me from anything
    involving roads)

    If the kmx had arrived sooner I would have got one with a view to
    using it to go to work on. Its a 13 each way run and it looks like the
    spec is up to it. Might not be the ideal machine for a century but a
    little work run - I think so 🙂
