That recumbent looks like a Greenspeed. I owned the very first Greenspeed that Ian shipped to the US. Loved that trike - never should have sold it to get more room in my garage.

Been a fan of "tadpole" trikes ever since. I have built two offroad recumbent tadpoles and the two Yamaha TW conversion tadpoles since then.

I can't take credit for originating the term "tadpole trike". It is commonly used in the recumbent bicycle/tricycle world. I have noticed that some in the motorcycle world are refering to this type of configuration as "reverse trikes", but who's to say that the double rear wheel isn't actually the reverse (thinking anyway). ;D

I have to admit I've used the term "reverse trike" on this forum just to go along with that apparent custom, but I prefer tadpole as the better description. Welcome aboard Scotty!
