I was intrigued to see them being used on the tour de france as support vehicles though. the lack of the ability for them to hold upright to me seems like a huge oversight on Yamahas behalf. didn't the old piaggio scooters with the 2 front wheels upright themselves at stops? If they did that, i could def see a market for older riders, super short people, or folks with disabilities. .02
You had to flip a lever which locked the front end, but it would automatically kick off if you gave it gas.
