Does anyone make a FWD / rear steer recumbent? Seems to me you'd save a lot
of chain length. Perhaps they'd struggle for grip up hills?

There are FWD,FWS tadpole trikes - russian titanium ones turn up
occasionally.

There's also one that is FWD via a differential, and steered by
braking teh front wheels individually, like a tank. The back wheel is
just a castor. I quite like that as a scheme, but I don't think I'd
dice with rush-hour traffic on downhills with it - seems to me it has
teh potential to pirouette and dump you on teh road if you forget
yourself and tug on a brake inappropriately.
