But could you explain how it would be less prone to tipping? It would appear to me that given the same height you would be just as likely to tip forward/back as a wide bot, and now given that you've cut down on your width, it would be easier to tip side to side than a wide bot.
We were thinking that the fact the wheels are closer together would make it less likely to tip, but are not sure. Could anyone clarify this?
