high speed has never been an issue, i don't expect it will be in the future. it currently has a 20" front wheel which i was thinking of changing the fork and wheel out for 26" but the consensus seems to be I should stay with 20" because the smaller wheel will provide better torque. I weigh 350 pounds, the trike as is weighs 100+the reason for this project is to be able to get up the hill out of the river valley, where the bike paths are, to home
