Default Is there such a thing as an ideal trike?

Not on the Kett Wiesel. You can do a U-turn on a bike path.


Presumably to avoid the embarrassment of anyone seeing you on what
looks like a glorified long wheelbase wheelchair.

IMHO The only trike worth considering is a tadpole.


As usual, it depends what you want to do with it. And being able to do
handbrake turns on a Kett is part of why they're excellent off-road fun
machines.
Another reason they're great is it makes an excellent family machine as
you can just daisy-chain them together. Try doing that with a
Windcheetah...
