Wow so many opinions from people who do not actually own one. Those opinions are simply worthless, it's like me telling you about skydiving

We own two. Not a deathtrap on paths. Very relaxing, you look forward naturally vice downward like on a bike. Slower than a two wheeler going uphill but faster going downhill. Florida is the ideal place for these as it is so flat. Easy on the knees, you can ride all day long.

Some add an electric assist for climbing the hills after a tunnel.

I can't even think of one that costs 8,000. I have seen reviews of multi thousand mile trips and those bikes don't cost 8K.

Now don't get me wrong I won't ride cross country on them but we are going to a meet in Tennessee next month for a weekend of riding. There should be a few hundred of us on these "deathtraps".
