flats are a bit faster
Interested to know how that feels with the reverse trike. I totally discounted them as an option due to potential tipping in corners. But that was based off zero personal experience but could be totally wrong. Also discounted due to access width restrictions, but I like the idea of the stability when stopped or going very slow.

I'm sure you'd get used to it fairly quickly! I used to ride a cargo trike for work (not a reverse trike though). First hour or so was a bit sketchy but after that I just didn't have to think about it.

It’s fine, just needs care at the corners, I’ve not been close to tipping it yet, although my wife has - mainly through riding like a lunatic!
We got the three wheeler at her demand for stability on loading and at lights and it suits our purposes now with a 6.5k nursery run 3x per week.
Cars seem to be fine even with the relatively slow speed, the bars are nearly as wide as the box so I think they naturally account for that…

Phase one of my planned upgrades on the babboe is complete, xtr 1x di2 groupset and new rear wheel - going from 7 spd to 11 and giving a much wider range of gears (19-32 to 11-42) should mean the flats are a bit faster and starting and hills are a bit easier, plus the loss of drag from the redundant motor in the rear wheel should mean a few more watts go towards forward progress!
Phase 2 will be a Dynamo front hub and better lights for the winter, need to do a bit more research to understand how they work first though!
Bike is doing about 6 trips per week at the moment, and hopefully the upgrades should tempt us into making a few more journeys we currently do in the car on the bike…
