Yes that's the silly thing about Reverse trikes with Rear wheel drive. People who burn the tires on those things think they are doing something impressive, but really they are just showing how the things can't apply power to the road.re: Slingshot...at $20,000.00 it is all about burning out the rear tire !
On the other hand if they do catch some grip, and has enough power, it can then pop a wheelie, and that can be deadly.
You won't be able to make that particular mistake in an Elio.
