The Corbin Sparrow had a bad reputation for tipping over, simply because of its short wheelbase combined with a narrow track. The Deliverator appears to have very similar proportions, except for carrying its 200-ish lbs of cargo (350 less driver) in the worst possible place - high over the rear wheel.
Three-wheelers can be very stable, but I'm betting this one is not. I hope it doesn't give three-wheelers and EVs another black eye.
