Not sure how to respond to this one, obvious creativity there, individual expression. Don’t see it as a daily driver though. Glad to see my build has stoked your curiosity and moved you to do some research outside the box.
This one has more possibilities as a driver/rider. Looks like it’s based on a tractor pull setup or VW trike. This one is actually pretty cool, looks well done.His other Trike-Tor...

Since we‘re back to senseless silly stuff, I’ll throw this one up. I’d refrained from posting this one. It seems to have the quad effect. Laugh if you must.

By request some current photos of the “Trike-Tor Flow”. Before doing the photos I changed out the seat post and seat. 13/16” x 5/8” wedge seat post with a 5/8” to 7/8” seat clamp adapter.
So here is the current flow.
I need to remake one tie rod, paint or change out chainguard, add rear fender, experiment with front 20’s and decide on finish.
What? No three point hitch???

Add a sickle bar mower blade for a chin spoiler and you've got my vote
This view took me back for a minute.
Riding on the hay wagon back from the field with the last load, as the sun is riding low as a 13 yr old on my grandpa's farm.
Sitting on our flat bed trailer watching my dad and hanging on for dear life as we brought a load of corn stalks to the neighbor's for their horses, which months later we would return with the same trailer, and pitch the manure from said horses created by eating the corn stalks, and return to the field to throw it off by hand onto the same corn field, to grow the corn to feed the horses....
Taking my turn on the wagon loading crates of apples on the hilly orchard of Southern Wisconsin where I worked as a college student. One of us drove, the other loaded 50 crates per load weighing 40 lbs, we would drive back to the base and unload and stack, and then switch driver and loader and head back out. We averaged around 5 - 6 loads on twice a week on Tues and Thurs nights, and 11 - 13 loads on a long Saturday.
They say the railroad / trains built America. They were wrong. It was the tractor.

Thought I’d take some comparison photos to compare the stance.
As it now sits...
And I sit thinking about all the dis-assembly work involved in doing any finish work...it may keep it’s rat rod look. If the wood stays it needs some camouflage though.

Kinda like the 20's on it. Gives it even more of a "tractory" look.

I definitely like the 20" wheels even better!!!!!!
I think the chrome of the handlebars makes them stand out too much. I think you might have mentioned hiding them by painting them black or something. I think that would be great if you are keeping them.
