First trip out to a small car park in a private location of a club I am a member of. Not the wide open spaces I would prefer for a full test but enough to give me first impressions.
1. It takes off like a scalded cat.
2. The throttle response is good, but the amount of travel the pedal needs to actuate the throttle takes a light foot.
3. brakes need bedding in but can lock up the rear
4. turning circle is great
5. Steering could get a little heavy on the arms if I did a lot of turning
6. REMINDER TO SELF!!! Don't dab the accelerator and turn in, you lift the inside wheel too easily"
7. Fix the front grill your fat belly dislodged whilst unloading.  ::)
I am claiming this as a success, it was fun and informative. The seat works well for a bit of comfort and the springs coped with all the pot holes in the car park... Here is a bit of video footage of the ride...
