30 to 35 is really dissapointing. I still want one, but come on. Its light, it should get more mpg. My 23 year old CAR gets 32 highway!

30 to 35 miles to a gal.

Anybody know what kind of MPGs this gets ?

be that as it may, it still seems to make sense to me to put the two wheels in front, as weight gets thrown to the front outside of a vehicle on turns.

I hear you there, I'm going to buy one soon because hell, Who doesn't like the idea of a reverse trike that doesn't look like crap but instead looks like THIS?

I've seen the motdel and it really looks cool, i'd love to ride one...I read lots of comments about the spyder being the "street snowmobile", well consider that bombardier invented the snowmobile...

I have driven quite a few robins,the reason they fall over is that the driver/passenger are sitting too far forward and too far out of the front wheel,if you look at a robin chassis youll find they are rectangular with the front wheel hanging of the front cross bar,fine for slow speeds,but as I said too much hanging outside the triangulation of the rear and front wheels,that is why they tip over!!!

Do a youtube search on "Reliant Robin race" to see what happens when you put the two wheels in back.

What a pile of poo,and yes I do build trikes,everyone knows the twin wheel go at the rear,mid engined,with a good bike front end,tubular chasis using the engine as a stressed member,by doing that you can you some vast engines,V8's or 12's,the twin front wheel desighn has been around for donkeys years and all riders know it crap,the arses tend to fly out on them in the wet,when turning as there is little weight on the rear end.
