More trikes

Several other motorized trikes that I've found recently:

The Persu Hybrid is a tilting trike that's been compared to the cockpit of a fighter jet:

3wheelers.com is the ultimate source for information on trikes; most are older small vehicles but also contains some extreme examples (like this jet-powered trike built for the world speed record!)

Wikipedia has a good explanation of trikes, including a diagram of the different possible orientations (delta, tadpole, front-steering tadpole):
