You can search the trike list archives at

A tadpole will be the best choice if you are more interested in speed
and cornering ability.
Trice, Greenspeed and AVD (Windcheetah) are well established, but are
the most expensive (and subject to currency exchange rate fluctuations).
Trikes from Catrike and Whizwheelz are US made, and the reaction to
their current models has been mostly favorable. These will cost
significantly less than the imported trikes.
AVD and Whizwheelz sell direct, while the others are available from bike
shops located in the west suburbs. There are so other lower production
trikes (e.g. Organic Engines Triclops) that would be worth looking into.
If you are less interested in speed and prefer greater cargo capacity
and a higher seat, the Penninger delta trikes are locally made.
Penniniger is also introducing a tadpole, but it may not yet be available.
