If you look closely at the Tomahawk, the two front tires have their own
suspension, so that you can lean into the turns....same with the
back.... picture two motorcycle riding side-by-side around a turn...
then picture them attached...
I still wouldn't try to take that thing into a serious turn too quickly
though...

As cool as that idea is, i can't see actually driving htat thing...
A motorcycle turns by leaning the vehicle to one side or the other. The
tires on a motorcycle are rounding to accomplish this leaning while
still
maintaining a good contact patch with the road.
I can't see being able to turn the "Tomahawk" at any other than very low
speeds....
