There is an ICE tadpole trike that sits higher, the T. I have had many customers question the safty of sitting low on a trike or other recumbent. Three things matter. Your flag on a trike will be higher than the head of a regular bike rider. If you are riding in traffic, and I hope that there are at least some trails and marked riding lanes where you live, the vehicles stay further away from trikes than bikes. The most important and useful safety virtue of trikes is that, since you don't have to watch the road surface because you are on three wheels, you have all of your attention available to watch others on the road both forward and through two rear view mirrors. I ride only trikes and feel much safer for it. I have absolute directional control because of the lack of wobbling, tipping, crashing, and other possibilities of two-wheeled riding. Braking is also several times better than bikes--you have two braking wheels in front of you and a fast stop won't flip you off.

Test some trikes in a safe area and see how different the riding experience really is.
