The weight is transferred to the front corner on cornering, and all wheels stay on the ground over any terrain with a trike. So a pair of small steerer wheels at the front, and a large drive wheel at the rear, makes engineering sense to me - and most things that make engineering sense have natural good looks.
Agreed on both counts. Even with a fully enclosed drive train on my velo, I'm glad I went with the 26" rear for the slightly greater ground clearance. I still have go near the curb to get around some of the speed bumps, but it's got pretty good clearance. Not sure how I would get to work if I went with the Mango (20 inch all around).
