Please correct me if I am wrong. If the side center of pressure is above the center of mass, the wind will tend to push the top downwind ala high side. If the center of pressure is below the center of mass the bike is more prone to lean into the wind. The curvature of the body and the lean angle determine lift and drag generated by the crosswind. The height of the weight affects the tendency to roll and the transfer under braking. Craig's aero Helix seems to be more of a handful in the wind than the Ninjas. Is the weight further aft and a bit lower on the Helix or is the scooter just lighter overall?
