Very nice example, I've never seen this one before.
Thanks to this thread I've learned that rolling resistance is due to weight, not the number of wheels. I have always wondered about that.
I once had the chance (1982-83 when he spoke at MSU) to show Buckminster Fuller my wedged shaped VW Beetle based trike. All he said to me was;
The two wheels should be in front, you have it backwards.
I drew and clay modeled single front wheeled cars for another 20 years before giving in to the reverse trike layout. I'm a slow learner I guess.
