I wouldn't go that far, so a CB 500 engine which is not so heavy would be OK for a moderate usage, instead of the 3-cyl fitted to the stock Insight. As far as stability goes, it's worth to remind the Isetta which had the rear track so narrow that even running 2 rear wheels they were so close they acted nearly as a wider single rear wheel.
