With the snow coming down here I will be finding a nice icy parking to spin a few. Of course it will be in reverse and nothing like the old days of rear wheel drive. I was wondering in my sleep last night how the Elio will do in this situation? Even us old guys like to have a little fun sometimes.

Paul Elio stated that the reverse trike (Elio) does have a tendency to roll over...
IN REVERSE...
AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 35MPH!
Elio, from the sounds of it, is going to govern the reverse speed to keep this from happening!

interesting, first I've heard of that but in thinking about it .... shouldn't be a problem for me, when backing I'm prone to low speeds and short distances

They talk about it on Driver's Talk Radio #751...the same place Paul Elio talks about the Nov 15th dyno testing date for the engine (that Elio claims to know nothing about)! :/
in thinking about it, having the potential to flip when turned while backing at a good clip does make sense .... historically trikes with a single front tire are unstable making turns at higher speeds .... I can see the reverse being true as well

you are terrific!! What's the secret in finding this stuff??
And a wet parking lot. Now I really need to try this. I have always loved going sideways.I should have ran outlaw cars when I was young.

Now I understand, I thought this thread was about food and I thought I'd order a dozen.
