i bought the auto moto about a month ago, and having never rode a motor cycle or moped before i was practicing on my boyfriends street ( his cul de sac ). i got the hang of it, and took a motorcycle safety course last weekend. and I took it out into traffic for the first time yesterday.
well it does alright, people definitely see it. i live in wichita, ks. so no one has seen anything like this before. it still feels a little weird for me to have the roof, its very top heavy and can tilt over easily if you move it the wrong way. like for instance backing it up is hard, because the bike is so heavy that you really have to use your legs. it doesnt do well with tight turns or anything, and going over bumps isnt very good, the shock absorbing system on this trike is nil. and i turned the radio on once and turned it all the way up and you can barely hear it when you are driving.
riding on the little honda nighthawk when i was in motorcycle class felt a lot smoother and easier than riding in this thing, just saying.
its cool because it has a roof, so it does offer protection from the elements. i bought it so i could drive it year round, rain or not. it is good on gas too and insurance, thats a definite plus.
overall, i think id rather have just a regular ole moped. this thing is way to heavy and big for me.
