That looks interesting.

Do both of the wheels turn or is the handle closer to the "big wheel" just to hold on?

Good grief......Never remember seeing anything like that before lol

Like the rack and pinion steering. It'll be nice to see from another angle.

 

[dim]

unusual, and probably worth a fair amount ....

but quite a distance from the saddle to the centre of the steering tube .... I hope that you have long arms

Does the big wheel run on a rail on the edge of the pavement?

Well, it's certainly different, I'll give you that.

Great buy - never seen anything like it before . . . how old is it ?

It is a 1980s exact replica of a Victorian 1880 Coventry Rotary Tricycle.

The large wheel (L.H.S) is the main driving wheel & measures 48". The two small wheels (R.H.S) are the steering wheel's, via rack & pinion.

Only the two small wheels turn, via rack & pinion steering. The l.h.s handle is a grab handle!.
