Interesting tadpole!

This looks an interesting ride! Front wheel drive and rear wheel steer!
I would love to have a go on it!

Very tight turning circle, and steering is weird

The "handlebars" are fixed and only move forward and back

As you push one forward, you pull the other back, and they pivot

*Wonders how he might hide another trike from Mr R...*

Yes it is a little tempting but I am at the point where

N+1 = - Mrs Poves.

I reckon this might be a fair swap....

Absolutely not! She is a wonderful wife.
.......but it's still only at £330 and looks so much fun.

Worth saying twice

Now if the frame was RED instead of yellow

I followed a link on the ebay page and found this :

Now, I am quite happy if people want to pedal a stationary cycle and understand why they might, but bl**dy hell, £3000+ for one ????

OT....

When I was at Culdrose I used to travel around on a Trice

One of the Physical Training Instructors couldn't understand the benefits, yet could extol the benefits of a recumbent exercise machine

Ah - I see.... she reads your posts. 'Nuff said.

I don't think she does - but just in case, I would like to reiterate that she is a wonderful woman! (and as Hughie Green used to say, and I mean that most sincerely folks)
