Yeah but it's more throttle one way, brake the other? This is why I went the trike route though I'd rather have had an outfit really.

Speed up to go left, slow down to go right.
With a uk sidecar it was throttle left, brake right. A real pain on big fast roundabouts. With this thing with it's 2WD and offset front wheel. who knows how it will steer.

On a conventual outfit the sidecar wheel should lead the rear wheel by a few inches so that it will go round a right handed without lifting the rear wheel and dropping the chair nose to the deck.

This will steer like a normal trike, don't see any reason why not? So long as the driver doesnt get too close to the verge...
