More like a standard trike. Sidecars pull to one side or the other _every_ time you brake or accelerate, makes them a challenge to ride.
Fun but very different.

That's an accurate statement. I rode one at FMS a year or so ago - good
fairly spirited demo ride. The consensus of the group was that the first
thing we would do is to plumb in a "front brake" lever. No need to confuse
my developed reflexes.

That, and a riding position that locks you into one position doesn't make
good for a long distance ride.
