It's a nice idea but, because trike wheels attache single sided only, I'm not sure how they would cope with handling the stresses of a commercial grade coffee machine, water tank and the assorted supplies that you would need to do a business.
I could get a nice rack made so that wouldn't be a problem, I could also look at getting some
better hubs etc.Could the rack come off "forks" over both back wheels? This would balance out the stresses.

It's a nice idea but, because trike wheels attache single sided only, I'm not sure how they would cope with handling the stresses of a commercial grade coffee machine, water tank and the assorted supplies that you would need to do a business. Obviously trailers work with this but you'd be adding into the stresses of the drive function as well. Worth checking with the hub manufacturer first before you kick of any grand plans.
I do think the idea of a bike coffee shop is a very good on though and a trike could prove an advantage over a two wheeler for trucking around event sites. A simple custom rigged trailer could be very easy to build that serves as the machine point and worktop.
