I've always wanted a Moulton TWS (Two Wheel Steering) Tricycle.

It needs a big fairing.
And for some reason, I want to hear the sound of baseball cards flapping off 3 wheels.

In three wheel motorcycle road racing- there was a team that did quite well until the configuration was outlawed
tadpole trike- the driver and monkey sat tandem style- very stable
out-cornered everyone. Even had a nose fairing.

Maybe you could apply a 2/3 correction factor to the speed, to account for the extra wheel. :D

I think the history of this thing would be interesting. It looks like it has a Schwinn chain ring, kickstand and bar grips.

Definitely have to "take the lane" on that one!

Looks like an Atomic Zombie trike build on a step through main frame.

Four-speed transmission and three-wheel independent suspension--- ta-boot! What's not to love!?!
