Has anyone seen EM address this issue?
Although Polaris hasn’t revealed the exact weight balance of the Slingshot 3-wheeled motorcycle, engineer James Holroyd says the rear wheel carries between 34 to 41 percent of the vehicle’s weight, which we can presume is the difference between the vehicle unoccupied and occupied. If too much weight is on the rear tire, the Slingshot won’t want to turn. Conversely, if the Slingshot is too front-heavy, the unloaded rear will have a tendency to snap out in corners.
