Yo ,
the black trike on ebay was one that started out as a 2 wheeler.
I then bought a Ken Rogers rear and bolted it on. Thus this could be removed and a 26" wheel put back in.
There are fixings for canti type brakes to the rear wheel.
I found the 2 wheel very skittish and the 3 wheeled version unstable due to height of the rider/seat. It was easy to lift a wheel/roll.
I then sold it on. Intersting in that it has 3 chainsets to get the chain line over to the drive.
Susequently I've had 2 tadpoles and tried a few deltas.
For speed and comfort you could do no better than a tadpole, ie. Ice Qnt.
For stability and ease of getting on the seat the deltas are ace.
We tried in deep snow/ice to try and flip a Kett over. No way could we do it, it was that stable.
However we found the Greenspeed Anura a bit liftable at speed,
maybe due to it's 16" wheels.
There's a few trikes on fleabay now for those thinking of buying 2nd hand.
