    Just so you know..I built it already. It does work but the ratchets need help. Had the idea for years now but finaly had to build. Glad to see Im not totaly alone in thinking this…cheers!

    Hmm… if I am seeing this design correctly, you are suggesting two front wheels that are powered by the pedals, and the rear single wheel is steering? that is reversed from most “tadpole” trike configurations. usually rear wheel is power and two front wheels are steering. Rear wheel steering on a tadpole trike could be a problem. You will get sever handling problems at high speeds if you ever build this. Not sure if rear steering is an option. Front wheel drive is not a problem though.
