Not sure if ol RV posted something like this in the past...if so oops.

Anyways I reckon these trikes look really cool.

Specs are similar to normal trikes, although handling is supposedly much better

From the bit I gathered, it appears the advantage of the shape is that smaller motors can be fitted and return a similiar speed envelope to normal trikes.

20hp +, on the one 45hp sustained speeds of 130km/h were attained.

Any pics of the Cosmos one?
