That video reminded me of a vehicle I saw at Disney World's Epcot Center back in the late 80s. It was called 'The Lean Machine' . It used a motorcycle engine and transmission and the steering was accomplished by shifting the rider weight. It leaned into turns and had a remarkably short turning radius. It had a fiberglass body with a full plexi canopy like a fighter. Really cool but I've never seen mention of it since. The trike in the video appeared to have a similar steering mechanism.
