My two previous trikes had a 45 degree seat angle similar to the one shown in the picture above which is adjustable from 44 to 51 degrees. Trike owners will tell you that motorists give you more room than they ever got on a regular bike too.
Thanks. I guess my concern is him being able to see over parked cars, and things like that. I’m also not sure how he’d take to such a foreign device. At his age and general mental capacity I’m not sure he’s up for new tricks, haha. Thanks though!
