With its negative trail it seems to be similar to the Python-bikes which are
out there. I've tried a Baby-Python (20"-wheels) and it works very fine at
low speeds. Because the bike wasn't finished when I tried (no brakes ;-)) I
couldn't try higher speeds, but Jürgen Mages, the "inventor" of the Python
says that it becomes uncomfortable for him at speeds of about 50km/h. So if
you live in a flat area and you aren't a highspeed-fan it shouldn't be a
problem. Many Pythons run without any problems and at least when you're
pedalling you keep the bike straight.
Information about the Python can be found here: http://www.python-lowracer.de/

Greetings and success with your bike,
Martin
