Side thrusters? Yeah, they haven't really thought that through.

As a motorbike rider, I'd expect most if it is simply leaning.

True.  However this isn't a road machine, & the beast is NOT quick, 25 mph, which isn't bad cross country.

Wish I knew what it weighed.

Seems you lads have raided Mad Robot & sold 'em out!!  There were 25 or so available when I posted...

Somebody please tell me Mad Lord Snapdigit got his, he'll pout so if he missed it.

Oh my god we're all a bag of idiots.

Look at the article, it says right there in the text "Steering is accomplished by handlebars which control a sideways motion of the drive belt."

I bet it steers like the adjustment wheel on a belt sander!
