Bonkers, but in a good way and very nicely finished.

Not sure about the position of the gearlever, perfect disemboweling position if you come off.

Now that's something I'd have to stop and ask about if you parked next to me.

Cool in a weird way

I'd expect a car wheel is exactly what’s required since the machine doesn’t tilt on corners so the tyre tread is always flat to the ground. Think of a robin reliant, they also use car tyres on the front. Using a bike wheel would only provide very small contact patch and wear only the center tread

I thought you needed a full bike or car license to drive a trike or sidecar bike? Certainly you can't use a provisional bike one.
