Hey Farmer Dave, welcome to the forum! Very interesting vehicle. Hey, at least this one's on the road now! lol

Ah, I just figured it out... remember from many years ago?... Chiquita Banana.

Boy, I don't know, I think I would rather be screaming down the highway in a Citroen 2CV. Or the 2CV's equivalent of "screaming down the highway". It gives me the heebie jeebies just looking at it. Something like I would try to make!

Unless it had and Elgin dash, then it would be ok.

Hmmmm! Looks like a mid engine.

lol, motorcycle drive is normally considered rear drive, but yes technically it's forward of the rear wheels and therefore mid-engine. In that definition of things, rear-drive is not possible unless you put the engine above the rear wheel, beside it, or behind it. Not a very good set of options.

My mid-engine tad pole design is the only one I've found that satisfies both notions of mid-engine reverse trike. 'just say-in' yo!

Corvair, VW Bug, Porsch, and I think one of the old Fiats were rear engine, rear wheel drive. Like you said, not sure how you would do that in a tadpole, but there are some front engine, rear wheel drive. Morgan and Slingshot comes to mind.

The screaming; would that be you screaming? Or the car (and I use the term loosely when talking about a 2CV)
