Why?
That is, what makes you think it will turn?

Only if the front wheel wasn't restrained. Or do you think that trikes
with single-side drives all go round in circles?

In this thread three followups are directly relevant to the OP, a couple
are taking the **** out of scientists/engineers, and fifteen are about
Trice trikes and recumbents generally. It's called thread drift.
If you were talking to someone IRL would you not pursue a line of
conversation because it wasn't a direct response to the subject raised
by the initiator of the conversation? If this were purely a technical
group then it would be good to change the subject line or start a new
thread when drift occurs, but it's not so it doesn't really matter.

"The most natural act for a two wheeled vehicle is to fall over. Anything
you do that prevents that from happening makes you the perpetrator of an
unnatural act." - Brad Teubner, c. 1996.
