I have not ridden a Stella with a car but I have many miles on a couple of Harleys with a hack. Easy to ride but you no longer lean into a corner, you steer. If you take a left hand corner too hot you can lift the rear wheel. If you take a right hand corner too hot you can lift the car. Pretty exciting for the passenger when you lift the car while ridding down the road.
The Harley car these days is fiberglass. The one available for the Stella is steel. It looks a lot like one I used to see attached to British bikes. Don't let the dealer talk you out of it. It will be fun and roomy as well as a great conversation maker to everybody that sees it. Everybody wants to go for a ride in one.
