Roll bars, safety belts, and other design features were meant to eliminate need for a helmet, which conflicted with unamended helmet laws in UK and Sweden. Other countries considered wearing a helmet with a safety belt to risk neck injuries. High center of gravity made travel at slow speeds harder to learn than for motorcycles.
