Any other thoughts on the situation?
Consider a Sun Seeker EZ-TRI Classic SX 'delta'. The 'EZ' is a family name, taken from its grandfather, the famous Tour Easy recumbent. The EZ-TRI's seating is also chair height, like those Terra tadpoles you're looking at. Unlike many (most?) trikes, it has front and rear brakes. Wide gear range; good turning circle; maneuverable. Stores compactly, standing on its tail end. Mounting: put your left hand on the handlebar and squeeze the brake lever. Put your right hand on the top of the seat. Step over the (low) frame with your right leg. Move your right hand to the handlebars. Sit down. EZ! My step-daughter has owned one for ~15 years, and while you won't win the World HPV Championships on one, hers has been a solid, trouble-free machine. And...I guarantee you won't suffer $1000 depreciation in a year's ownership!
