It has been several years since I have "driven" a chair rig but I think
the problems are still the same:
1) frame flex (the SABRE may have insufficient mounting stiffness)
2) gearing (need lots of low end power)
3) chair set-up

Chair set-up depends upon the type of roads you'll ride; e.g. high crown,
flat, etc. (this determines the amount of "lean-out" of the bike when
on flat ground).  Desired stability affects chair "toe-in" (this is the
amount the sidecar wheel points towards the fron wheel
