Default trikes?

Be advised that tricycles at speed are likely dangerous. They take some
real skill to get around a corner fast.


The above only applies to trikes with a high combined rider/trike center
of gravity, such as upright trikes, many delta recumbent trikes, and a
few recumbent tadpole trikes.

However, on a tadpole recumbent trike with a low seat, one can achieve
automotive levels of lateral acceleration, simply by leaning one's upper
body into a corner.
