Some very cool engineering. But in typical Honda fashion, they are trying to fix something that ain't broken.

Honda Developing Electric Sidecar

Sidecars have always offered added utility, but at the expense of odd handling traits. Can this electric-powered and -controlled version solve the issues?

You would need to demo one beforehand. It's not for everyone.

i appreciate the difference brought about by the added wheel. One has to get used to riding on a tilt.

Can you switch back and forth or do you have to re-learn every time?

My brother was with TPS as a M/C cop in the days of straight bikes, sidecars and pie wagons. In training, riders would forget they were on a straight bike and get off, forgeting to put down the side stand. Clunk.

Or they'd forget they were on a pie wagon and try to go down a narrow lane. The pinacle was pracicing tight turns and hooking the sidecar on a flagpole at the Ex.

I ride my trials bikes regularly and no problems. Only "issue" i had was not putting my foot down when coming to a stop and looking for the sidestand.
When buying a Ural, the dealer puts you through 45 minutes of rigorous training while he watches you in an empty lot.
