For those of you that are interested, I ended up with one that looks like this:
Except that mine doesn't have the rear shock and the shifters are a little different.

How about bringing them to ITG3?

Would love to but it is to far for me!
I am self employed and can not take that much time off to drive that far!

I got it back when I was getting over about a year of worsening, unsuccessfully diagnosed lymphoma, then six months of chemotherapy. I was keenly aware of needing gentle but steadily increasing exercise but was none too steady on my feet. It appealed to me as the second-least-expensive tadpole and just odd enough.
The back wheel steers and both front wheels pull, through a short chain and a differential. You can see the few "presents" I've bought it: car mirror, water bottle and bag, camera bag, cargo bag, home-made, ur, hand-crafted clip-on pedals, and an electronic spedometer / odometer / hours / calorie / something else gizmo. The tires have a decent tread for off-road (for two-wheel drive) with a narrow smooth center stripe for pavement. The only trouble I've had was one time when it shifted into the eighth of seven gears and left me with a spindle full of neutrals, easily fixed on the spot. It does not like hills, though, but that may have something to do with the much-abused second-hand "motor."

I've been thinking about a single rider trike for awhile and have looked at a few. I'm especially interested in the Cat Trike (made in Florida) and the Trice from ICE.
