I am seriously considering a reverse trike with tandem seating for three.

I would prefer four wheels, but licensure makes it virtually impossible for me on a scratch built vehicle. In my state at least, I would have to conform to all the safety regs, crash testing, etc etc etc, ad nauseum.

Three wheels allows it to be licensed as a motorcycle and makes the paperwork with the state possible at least.

Perhaps in your state, you do not have this restriction? If your state has the same problem mine does, you may have little choice but to start with the chassis of a production vehicle, despite all the compromises that would entail.

I am completely engrossed in your design process, but I would hate to see a finished product that was unusable on the highways and byways.

Finest regards,
