Thank you for sharing it, silverbear.

What an interesting trike. I have never seen one with offset rear axles either.
I wonder if the wicker squeaks when you pedal?

Gearnut,
It wouldn't squeak when I pedal since I don't pedal. If it did squeak I'd never hear it over the sound of the motor. I bet that seat is very comfortable. I doubt it would be very hard to come up with a wicker seat much like that one. I'll be watching for one at yard sales. The offset axles is different, for sure.

Rusty,
Yes, it is very pleasing to the eye with a lot of details to look at. I like it.

A rectangular wicker basket behind the seat would be nice. Picturing a build with that wicker seat... big squeeze bulb horn... carbide lamp...putt putt engine. Oh yeah.
