    Balance, Mastered??? Look again, he's off the thing in the last two just trying to keep it going. Then look @ the first one where he's standing, waist deep next to it, and from the looks of it might not even be runn'n!?!?!?! Can you say HYDROLOCK!!!

    my 200m with 20 inch rear tires, and im not sure what size fronts, i would bring it in a brook/creek that had 3 feet or so of water, and when it would rain it would flood out into a fast moving river paced area.... let me tell you, my 200m would drink water and still run, and YES... IT DID FLOAT. it would run like a motor boat, and let me tell you, you could even manouver it well it was full throttle through the water, felt like you were on a very slow jet ski or something. just make sure your tires are filt. ... oh yeah... ive got my 200m for sale. needs gas tank, carb rebuild, plastics, and break cables, and a new rear break shoes. also i have a 200es parts bike, and a moto-4.... make me offers.

    this must be an old post but i have floated 200es's many times. the first time it happened i was giving it balls out down a hill and my brakes went out and i hit the water. it kinda went like this "OH *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited*! oh hey, it floats. amazing" if you are driving through water about 3-4 feet deep the front will float and the rears will kind of bob. the trike usually wont die out and you can go right through. if you go in super deep water though, she will probably flip. it all depends on the situation.
