I like it - then again I already ride a recumbent ! (well sometimes!)

The design has some way to go - but I like the general idea...

    How does tipping work? (or an emergency stop when someone steps in front of you?
    I can see the benefit when you are moving, but supposing you have are stop/starting on your commute?
    With the more laid back position, isn't harder to dab the foot down at a junction?
    A question really - I always assumed that the straighter your body, the easier it would be to put your foot down.
