While interesting, I feel like this would be difficult or at least feel extremely weird to ride. When you steer on a 2-wheeled bicycle, you countersteer, which is pushing the wheel left in order to go right, or vice-versa. But this has a steering wheel that I assume works like a car, you turn the wheel left to go left. It would feel weird riding a bicycle while having to remember to steer like a car.


Probably less weird than you think. For one thing, it uses a steering wheel like a car, so that steering motion would feel more natural, and most people don't know they need to countersteer on a bike, they just do it without thinking. Even if it used handlebars, people ride trikes all the time without any real problems.
