Looks good.

I think that is the option I would go with. More secure than a soft cover, but zero mechanical hassle potential vs. a roll-up.

I have to wonder...

I don't believe stability is really a concern on a reverse trike. Handling dynamics are virtually identical to having 4 wheels. A mandate for ABS however would likely add unneeded complexity and...

I think this is an issue of context. In terms of other similar class cars, it probably did compare favorably, but up against other more sporty models it was still lacking.
