iv always thought about the front having two wheels and the back as one how feesable are they for home builds just being noisy

as for the top trike looks stunning but how the f*** do you steer it and what is in the back

'Back to front' trikes are supposed to be more stable and steer better - they just LOOK all wrong to me!

Hello Mr.M If you want to see how the trike handles go to WWW.phoenixtrikeworks.com
and have a look at their videos. Looks ok to me but don't know how we'd get on over here.

I can think of at least 6 roundabouts in Basingstoke that'd never make it round, (the CB radio fans used to call it "Donut City" for a reason).

Ooh, I like that first one -wonder how it handles with the Coker slicks on.
Could be wrong, but I believe there's a minimum distance between rear wheels for it to qualify as a trike isn't there? Someone's borrowed my SVA manual at the moment. Not that it would probably apply in the States anyway. Again, wonder how the super narrow second trike handles?
