Stein trikes in Germany builds full suspension tadpoles. (link

are some You-Tube videos of them in action.

Actually, Robert Stein is in S&M [1], not Germany:

I think they have a Lepus version called comfort which has extra
suspension? I saw and tried one a few weeks ago at a recumbent club
meeting. It had 2 wheels infront and was quite low.

I forgot to mention a tinker possibility if you want to
build it yourself.

get a cruzbike [free|sof]rider or the cruzbike kit. Remove
the rear wheel and build something with 2 rear wheels next
to each other. If you dont want to build too much, then get
a 2 wheeled and solid trailer and somehow connect it to the
front of the freerider.

Brakes should be there for legal reasons, but in reality the
rear wheel brake is not worth much on my freerider.

The yahoo cruzbike group may have some picture gallery of how
to do this as well as some text.

The model i have on my mind for this bike is the one from apax.ca

Have a look at http://www.hasebikes.com/2-1-startseite-aktuelles.html to
see the differences. Neither are tadpoles though (2 wheels in front).

I can see i was very unclear. The trike i tried was NOT a Hase,
but a different manufacturer and a model with 2 wheels in front.
Hase has 1 wheel in front and 2 in the back.
