Delta trikes are not stable because when you make a sharp turn the weight shifts to the outer front corner... where there is no wheel, that is why tadpole trikes are more popular, because of this I see an issue with handling, your rear wheel is going to be working as a support for the ballast weight to keep the thing from rolling over in sharp turns, but because of that the rear wheel isn't going to have much traction a lot of the time that you are not going in a nice straight line.
The other issue with trikes is that each wheel is making it's own path in rain and snow and the other wheels are in it's wake, being pushed around.
So if I was to have any wheels not inline like a standard 4 wheeled vehicle is, I would want a tadpole trike, because at least with that wheel layout you are really stable.
