I found that my giraffe was easy to learn on... Didn't take more then a
couple of hours. (Learn'n to mount it did take longer, but master'd it
now)! I think it really does depend on your priorities. I am a clown,
'n it works great for parades!
I find that....
Pros:
- Every thing is in slow'r motion. There's more of a react'n time.
If you lean forward there's more time for ya ta peddle ta get the bike
back under yourself.
- It's an attent'n gett'r (Ya thought ya were called a clown 'fore?
Just wait.).
- Small ollys, 'r hops, aren’t tuff (actually with the react'n time,
lets you sit idle long'r without peddl'n)
- Dismount'n is a breeze, 'specially when ya dismount forward 'n catch
the bike behind ya.
Cons:
- There's a lot of drag, 'n go'n long distances will cause your legs
ta burn.
- It's not a fast bike.
- The bike is heavy'r 'n hard'r ta make big hops.
- The bike takes some distance ta get off of, 'n when ya have several
people circle around ya when you are (street) perform'n, you have to
make sure you aren’t near anyone when you dismount.
Like I said... My two cents worth!
