The concern that I have had expressed to me was that of safety on the highway.
Because a 'bent is lower to the ground (great for aerodynamic advantage), it becomes harder for automobiles to see. I am told that it is almost mandatory for a 'bent to ride with a flag/streamer for the safety factor.
I am considering getting a Catrike Road or possibly the new Catrike Black Cat, but they are particularly low to the ground.
Some people have been discussing water noodles for trike visibility.
My Corsa trike has an explicit warning label against street use, I try and stay on trails-but my tike is lower than a Catrike Speed.
This is ultimate in dual purpose high visibility propulsion equipment:
