Howard,
Neat design! I've been pondering something similar for a while now, and look
forward to seeing how yours develops.
I was going to say that the rear wheels appear to be unusually far forward, but
now I see that the seat isn't quite where I thought it was. I'd still
recommend moving them back if you can - the further back they are, the better
your traction on hills and slippery roads will be - but it looks like it could
work well enough.
Thanks for sharing your ideas!

Hullo Pythonauts,
Always good to hear of the latest ideas. I am riding my last creation locally
around my place of residence which is now Tamborine mountain near the Gold
Coast in Queensland Australia. Unfortunately my carbon fibre and foam
constructions have ended up too unwieldy for travel, and so I have learnt what
most of you knew from the start...best to stick with tubular construction! So
I am embarking on a new design for international travel which will fold flat
and act as a trolley to carry a suitcase. It will have an electric motor in
one of the rear wheels, like my current trike. I am enclosing drawings for
your comments. All the best to you all and Merry Christmas. Howard Stevens
