It's a recumbent-shaped object (RSO). A tricycle with one wheel at
the front is inherently unstable. A proper tricycle has two wheels
at the front and one at the rear.

Nor does it appear to be a proper bike for a geriatric. A gerry
doesn't want to sit low and stretched out because it is an awkward
position to get into and almost impossible to get up from again.
In addition, anyone who thinks a fixie, directly geared to a wheel,
is a bike for a gerry even on the flat, is by definition either a
moron or a snake oil salesman.

No, I think someone built this bike down to a price, and then
discovered there's no market for it, and is now blowing smoke in
all directions.

Was there a fixed gear option? I didn't see that. Specs say
"freewheel hub".

Mea Culpa. Otoh, it might improve the braking :-)
