They are unclear on the concept of trike, but they do talk about new technology.

What gets me is people see the MP3 and think they can ride it because it has three wheels but the funny part is it is just as likely or more likely to fall over as a two wheeled scooter. That is what makes it different than the other three wheelers they mentioned in that article.

Also why no mention of the Can Am Spyder?

It's not a scooter either. But it is a fun ride.

There was a great line posted once about three wheeled vintage scooters (was it Eric?):

I have a three wheeled scooter, too - one of the wheels is called a spare.
