They put me in touch with a V20 ambassador when I was interested in that, then afterwards located S40 ambassadors when I figured it might be easier to learn to ride. One thing the V20 owner pointed out to me is that because the driven wheel is the front one, while most of your weight is to the back of it, it may lose traction on steep grades, where unlike on an upright bike you can't "stand out of the saddle" to shift your weight onto the front wheel.
