I'm looking for a bit of advice from the experienced members of this forum.
I have a two wheel drive Ken Rogers trike which I have enthused about here and elsewhere. Mrs Mudtracker has expressed some interest in it for very practical reasons - she's unable to handle stopping and starting on a conventional two wheeler because of foot problems. Unfortunately the diamond frame of my KR is too high for her to get over (same reasons). We acquired a Pashley Picador trike (20" ish wheels) which proved to be extremely disconcerting to ride, even for me with a few hundred trike miles under my wheels now.
There's a one wheel drive Ken Rogers on eBay at present (says 26" wheels, probably 27" or 700C) which might be the very thing. Needs a wider spread of gears for round here, but I don't anticipate that causing any problems. Given that Mrs M is not going to be riding up 1:4s, is an OWD Ken Rogers likely to prove to be as unridable as our OWD Pashley?
I also have some concern that the more athletic nature of really getting a trike moving (ie hanging over the inside wheel, etc) might mean that the upright trike thing might not be an option. But riding an recumbent trike round town isn't particularly good, either (visibility, nickability).
