That front linkage seems rather clever, avoiding the issues inherent to a flat-plane trike while benefitting from the straight-line stability of the two front wheels. Now, as a rider of conventional and electric two-wheel bikes, I’m probably not their target audience. But for someone who wants that stability peace-of-mind before going riding, then this might be a great match.
What I could see this being extremely useful for is snowy/icy conditions, where losing grip would normally mean falling off one’s bike. But this stands a better chance, when combined with suitable snow or studded tires, at least in the straights. Turning could still be dicey on ice.
