I've seen similar things with two rear wheels.
If you look carefully you'll see that the front axle is pivoted at it's
center, so the thing will ride like a motorcycle until you hit the tilt
limit on that pivot -- at that point I imagine that all hell will break
loose unless you have a _very_ skilled rider who can compensate for the
change in the effective pivot point while keeping the thing going.
