Worksman PAV3-3CB semi-recumbent

Do you have experience with this or very similar three wheel machine??

Do you consider it to be stable at speed?

Two weels in the back & one in the front can never be stable "at speed" through a turn (unless the design is offset & you have a rider who will "hike" according to the turn you are going through), which is what I presume you are asking about ... it's one reason no one makes 3-wheel ATVs any longer.

If you are only going through a turn at 6mph, then it will probably be 'okay'.

Why not look at getitbent.com? I am interested in those but never tried one. The two wheel recumbents seem to be about as affordable, though; especially the ones with cast wheels.

I never rode a three wheeler of any kind but can't believe you could maintain high speed for too long, on three 36-spoke balloon tire wheels with fenders. My coaster brake, or three-speed coaster brake cruiser bikes can be fairly tiring to ride and a ride which takes 45 minutes on a fat-tire mountain bike can take an hour and ten minutes on a cruiser with three speed coaster brake and fenders. And the smaller the wheel diameter, the harder it rolls.

And people who ride both seem to say that the recumbent is harder to take up hills than a bike you can stand up on. I say that because downhill would seem to be your best chance of building up high speed on one of those.

From pictures, in order to turn at high speed, I think the three wheel atv riders used to stand on the footpegs and practically hang over the side of the machine inside the turn. It does not look like you could stand on the pedals to shift your weight around on that pav3.
