Schwinn made a reversed trike, used a standard bicycle rear end, with rigid cross beam and individually pivoting front wheels. It looks like that Atomic Zombie is based pretty much on it. The Schwinn had a basket in front. I'm not sure just what the point of the Schwinn arrangement was. There was one on ebay several months ago, and I think it went for $125 or so, being in mediocre but usable condition. I wish now I had bid on that thing.

All it really takes to make two bikes into the Schwinn reverse trike is the cross bar with braces and steering couplers.

With this arrangement, you're still sitting up high like on a bike.
