The two I have seen are only a few inches wider than a tadpole trike like a
WizWheel or Greenspeed with an electric assist they are a very viable means of transport in slower city traffic, and quite often can keep up with or exceed average speeds. My biggest issue with the recumbent seating is not being able to see over the traffic to avoid issues. Unfortunately US drivers are nortorious for not "seeing" something and running over it. I got t boned the other day at low speed (I was driving my big red work truck) by someone that didn't see me and made a right turn on red into the side of my truck
