Having never ridden motorcycles I honestly don't understand the attraction of tilting. I hated it in sailing so I suspect I would hate it in a vehicle. LOL :-) Z

Try it you'll like it. Not like being on the water.

Maybe, but I doubt it. I like staying upright. Unless I am sleeping, of course. :-) Z

Tilting in the curves transfers lateral g-force to vertical g-force so you 'feel' MORE upright in hard curves. As a Mother Earther you might remember these......

I think it would be AWESOME if the Elio could do this!

The three wheeler prototype HD build one in 2007 one in 2009 worked something like that . HD just never went to market with it.
Was tagged the Penster. This is one version HD got the color right
