I don't like the Motortrike or Lehman style but this one is pretty cool. Leave it to the Germans. No idea on price but I'm guessing at least $30k.   Rewaco

Yeah, cool for a trike, except for the passenger "chair". It looks like a modern design office chair or a potty chair.

Now that you mention it, the rear seat rails do look a lot like senior toliet add ons. My mother-in-law had an arrangement similar to that.

I was coming back through the Pyrenees in Sept '08 and I met the owner of Rewaco at a gas station. We chatted for about 20 minutes. Apparently he is Swiss and moved the facility to Germany. They also have a lot of workers in Poland. There were 6 or 7 trikes on a day ride from Germany. The trikes sell for around 30.000 Euros. I followed them out of the gas station but was unable to keep up with them as there was an extremely high wind which was battering me, to the point of my having to stop. It was at that moment that I envied their 3 wheels.       Check out the champaign and glass holders on this one.

Yes, they were all vw-engined bar one which had an HD engine.
If I remember correctly they come in 3 flavours engine-wise.
VW, HD and Ford (I think Focus) engines.
