I knew (suspected) exactly what it would be, even the maker, before I opened the thread.
What does it weigh?
How does it corner when riding solo?
It has an odd braking arrangement.

Not sure on the weight, I'll have to break out a scale. It does not feel too heavy and it rides lighter than I would have guessed. No lean or counter-steer so cornering requires one to hang-off at speed. The two brakes on the front wheel is standard for trikes. British regulations require two brakes on every bike. So this was the solution for trikes.

Looks like a very nice trike, to me. I assume (hope) that both rear wheels are driven.
I installed a Ken Rogers trike kit on an old Falcon, many years ago. The kit drove only one wheel and that made the trike a nightmare to ride. I could not believe how difficult it was to ride it. I should add that a fellow forum member did buy the kit from me and I did warn him about the terrible ride/drive issue. Anyway, my one and only experience with a road trike...
While looking for pictures of the Falcon kit trike, I ran across this other trike that came my way many years ago. I did not like the ride quality and donated it to Bicycles for Humanity...
