Another serious limitation to trikes is their behaviour in snow and ice. When living in Sweden as I do, it may be suicide to drive a trike in the winters when the ice and snow gets packed to a string in the middle of the road for the middle wheel to ride... I have driven my Heinkel Kabine (RT) in the winter once and it was.... eh, adventurous, to say the least. Adding an extra wheel in the rear to a narrow pair will probably do nothing to improve stability. I guess a trike with the single wheel in front may be just as disasterous.
However, a front-drive RT is most likely much better than a rear-drive. I just have to try this out one day!
