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! _________________ https://imgur.com/user/FisherSquareback/posts

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.
