Hi guys, check this out. I found it on the german "Tretharley" Forum:

Frame design looks like it may have introduced a week point in the head tube area.
Perhaps the German design needed a little bit of English (?).

Well, there must be a reason why this concept sank into oblivion
I can imagine someone doing this on a home made frame though. I am curious how the springs are attached
I would also like to see a reverse trike where the rear wheel steers, like a fork lift truck.
