It weighs a whole lot less than our big cruisers. Similar to a crotch rocket/sport bike. It may be fine.

I'd like to ride one just to see what it's like but that may be awhile. They've been in the news for over a year and still not in production.

I seen a brand new Harley getting a front end like that put on at a Harley dealer. Duel front disc brakes, the tires and rims looked like something that should be on a car.

Do you ride it like a motorcycle (lean into curves/corners) or like a three wheeler (straight up)?

This is a much better design than a trike with one wheel in the front.
