I've ridden one of those oriental three wheeler which was imported from Taiwan (ex 1950s pedicab). It was fixed gear which allows you to reverse and the brakes are near useless when it's fully loaded. You can't get more than 5mph on them and never go near a hill unless you have a death wish. I ended up crashing it and hurting myself.
