possably not as much as yer imagine....
the side push from a 3 wheeler would be quite high

Considering that the contraption might carry loads that would make an F-350 flinch, not many.

But yer shouldn't worry about it to much..
i see he carrys spare retreads on the front corners
of the tray... A few cable ties he's good for
a few more 1000k....

As a foot note....
I replace tyres with only 3mm ware.... once the
edges are gone so is the tyre...
AND I'M NOT NOT JOKEING...

I'll say thank you to you and your kind. I've taken many barely-worn tires from the dumpster behind the local motorcycle shop. They're just fine in the dirt for the likes of me.

The 'old' American Lifan when they were headquartered in Dallas, teased us in the U.S. with a utility trike. They ended up with issues with fudging EPA certification (with tens of thousands of other bikes, not the trike), and the company left. Currently back in the U.S.; new management, new state (So. Calif.), and no trike........yet! (I can hope )

With a few mods that could be made into a trike. Just think about how fast that could get to the market with the chickens and kids, you might lose some along the way though.
