Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a machine for riders willing to learn an entirely different skillset, since a sidecar rig steers by countering throttle and body weight rather than leaning, and it punishes anyone who rides it like a normal motorcycle. |
| Purpose | It exists for slow, deliberate, characterful travel and utility, not for speed or sport, rewarding owners who want a mechanical, retro, go-anywhere-at-a-crawl experience. |
| Rider Fit | Riding demands real upper body strength and constant steering input to fight the sidecar's pull, plus comfort with a low top speed and heavy, low-slung 322kg mass. |
| Character | Quirky, old-world, and unapologetically analog, the M70 suits someone who values presence and novelty over performance and wants a bike that turns heads for being different rather than fast. |
| Not Ideal For | This is not for anyone wanting quick acceleration, agile cornering, or long fast highway stints, since its low power and three-wheeled dynamics make it fundamentally unsuited to sporty or high-speed riding. |
