Why? I've no idea lol
True enough, but it wouldn't be so difficult to modify the design to revise the velomobile quad into tadpole trike if necessary. I have a feeling that the regulations may be similar here in New Zealand with regard to the 3 or 4 wheel question on a pedal powered machine. With my own experiments into alternative transport I've just tended to go ahead and build something and if I get stopped by local police I have another think about it. So far they have just smiled and waved at me when they see me.
