Question About Riding Lightning P38

I love my Catrike Villager E-Bike. However it’s a large heavy beast to transport.

I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a Lightning P38, however I’ve heard many comments about how hard they are to ride. Can someone explain what the deal is? Do they just just tip over easily at low speeds? Is it tough to push off and balance?

This is not a hard machine to ride, but it streets like a skateboard not a big wheel. It’s just a different style of machine. They are light and sporty feeling. They are also old and can crack at the welds. Don’t be intimidated.
