Has anyone ever heard of this? Its called a Sherer TLT (http://www.shererusa.com/index.html) (Torque Lever Trike), and instead of cranks it has two huge 18" levers with pedals attached at the ends. I suppose it's like a stairmaster on three wheels. ;) The website claims speeds of 45mph on flat road, which is certainly possible for bursts, but sure sounds like marketing hype to me.

The frame is built by Tom Teesdale, BTW.

Talk about a high bottom bracket. Can't see why anyone would want to ride with their feet that far above their head.

Everything old is new again....There were a number of treadle/lever designs around the turn of the century. (the last one...)
