Looks like it will evenly pack the full width of a single-track and not leave ruts.

Wouldn't this be very difficult to lean to steer?

I did see this earlier this week. I'm sure it would be fun to try, at least.

I don't think you lean it to turn it. Looks like it would be more akin to riding a 4-wheeler as opposed to a dirt bike. Turn the handlebars to turn the bike. I don't see there being much use for something like this, but it would probably be fun to try it once.

But it's not an "MTB". It's a beach/sand trike.

It's designed for a pretty specific use. I'm not saying I'd buy one, but if you wanted to use it for what it's designed for (reaching remote sandy spots) it would probably be pretty effective.

Just a guess but it looks like it's a spin off from the competition circuit = a little more front-end stability on those 40-50' backflip landings....y/n?
