This one needs some TLC before it's roadworthy.
If such a thing CAN be "roadworthy"!
{hee hee hee} someone is running in the same circles as I am! I had a Thebis 201. It is extremely difficult for some people to master that delta trike, but in 2 weeks I had the rear wheel steering and rear wheel drive down pat! I really enjoyed that trike! If your becomes roadworthy, if adjusted wrong; they are tippy, but mine was pretty fast

I got info from the 1992 RCN, about the titaneum frame, gold galvanized 20" rear wheels, 24" front wheel surrounding the crank, adjustable steering, air seat, damper, 2 clutches, and U-joints (prone to break, as mine did). I towed a trailer with that trike and put a Zzipper fairing on, but pretty much left it alone mechanically.

Very tiring "upload errors" when I tried to send a pic w/trailer & fairing, but 'recumbent trikes' has a photo of one without those.
