The trick seems to be to wiggle the handle bars faster to transfer power from one side to the other. I guy looked embarrassed especially with his friends laughing at him. LOL

At least the Rincon had good tires, otherwise he might have been in the same boat as for Foreman. The Rincon did sound like it was lugging or chugging, but I've read that the lowest gear on the Rincon isn't low enough to turn larger tires effectively. So much that there is a gear reduction available for it. In fact, this was one of the deciding factors when I excluded the Rincon from my choices when I got the SP800. My dealer had a brand new Rincon for $6,399 when I bought my 800.

You can barely see a roost from the right front tire even when it kicked in for it's millisecond at a time to try and help out.
