Landing gear?

On one hand I want to say "neat idea" and on the other I want to say "just give it up and buy a car":

It does have its points but no.

It's an alternative to triking or not riding at all.......and it's a good alternative. I think I would do that before I would trike.

The more I look at them maybe I'm wrong.....Can you tiurn them on and off or are they full time?

From the vid it looks like they can be turned off, since they do make some slow u turns without them. I also lookes like they can be locked down, the wig got into 2nd gear once with them staying down. It looks like "norrmal" mode is automatic where they go up and down based on speed.

 

I wonder how they react if you have to stop on a road that has a pretty steep camber. Do they adjust to keep the bike straight up or will the bike be leaning with the road? How about pulling slowly into a steep driveway? What happens when that tiny wheel hits a good size bump or pothole?
