I live in Ill. and own a Worksman PAV trike that I use due to
my knee replacments. Salt kills steel and corrodes aluminum
to dust. That said I really can't recommend riding a trike in
the winter due to all the places for salt/gunk to hide all winter.
One other point......In Ill. you will need to install a "slow vehicle"
triangle that farmers use on farm equipment to indicate your slow
speed to drivers.
