Saw this on TV, Auction kings, seller brings in an item and the auction guy tries to sell it off. 5 or 10 minutes of talking about it/driving it/selling it.
Both sides represented, some haters and some loved it. The frame welds sure look questionable. Sorry, you were warned!

| I am guess it was crashed in the front, and this was the way to use what was left. |

Yeah, we've parted out a couple that would have made good trikes if we'd even thought about the idea?
We made money on them, but also helped keep 20 other squares on the road!

What happens in a panic stop with that much weight in the rear?
Does the front wheel even have brakes?  |

Having build a trike myself, the brake setup is that the main brake is on the back wheels and a slight brake is on the front.
Or you have a hand brake on the bars for the front, and a foot brake on the rear such as on a normal bike, but you would do most of the breaking on the foot brake.
