Even then, transporting two or more trikes becomes a challenge. I've frequently traveled with four bikes on a bike rack or in a pickup truck bed. I don't think I could carry four trikes without a big truck or trailer.
There are some folding models that will allow you to put one trike in the back of perhaps a hatchback/station wagon (station wagon - remember those?).
Public transportation, Amtrak...flying? Bwaaahaha!
But the transportation thing does get mentioned on the trike boards from time to time, and you'd think this guy would have been able to license his design to someone or get financial backing to go into production...but no, apparently. Disappeared 6 or 7 years ago.
Best I've seen lately is the TrikExplor M320 (slowly, very slowly) folding/disassembling trike. No idea about the COVID-era availability.
