The bike looks like it was very well cared for by the former owner(s). Your post is a real push for me to purchase a new one for myself.

Very nice! 
Looks like an older version of my Worksman Port-O-Trike. I like the metal fender and chainguard. Mine had a POS plastic fender that was broken from day one. I took it off. My chainguard is also plastic but I haven't broken it yet.

Can't see your image, but I have a vintage worksman folding trike, "the Trifecta" which I have moddified for my kids and I to use. I bolted a wooden breadbox where the rear basket was and fixed a big wheel seat and seatbelt to the top for my 5 year old. We have a lot of fun on it.

Thank you for posting the type of fenders/mudguards that are on the current Port-O-Trikes. I was thinking about including the rear ones upgrade on my soon (I hope) purchase of my own trike. I decided to just include the alloy rims only on the order and just buy off the shelf at my own LBS or online anything else I want on my new Port-O-Trike, including fenders/mudguards should I have need of them in the rear.

I think I was told that Worksman charges $60 for rear fenders. No way would I pay that for cheap plastic fenders!

I have the alloy rim upgrade. Had to take my Dremel to several spokes that poked up 1/8" above the spoke nipple on the inside of the rim on one of the rear wheels. The other two were fine.
