One of these trikes is not like the other

A reader, Tim, who owns a Baccura Airlite of the last party, describes it as "a nice skinny send Trike that the simplicity of a bike." Baccura.com, an unofficial site that is "designed to demonstrate the lightest, fastest
Recumbent Trike ever made" refers to it as the "only successful lean send trike design ever produced" (watch this video to see the steering wheel of action).

The Baccura site points out that the tricycle between 1981-1983 by Jamie MacMenemy which, according to this BikePortland forums thread also developed for Cannondale lefty hub is designed. Even came out of shape, MacMenemy close to winning the OHPV inaugural PIR Human Powered Challenge with its new trike design. The history of the Baccura Airlite design is quite interesting, and you can read more about it on baccura.com. Also check it out (along with other trike designs) at the 2006 OHPV-people-Power-Challenge.

Josh Hadar e-Trike Chopper has spread around the design blogs. It is not smooth, low, and aerodynamic design as the Baccura, but it has an interesting look. Unlike some of the Hadar other sculptural bicycle designs have not even pedals. It is a fully electric version of one of his earlier pedal designing trike, the Christy Lynn.

According to Inhabitat, is the Hadar new e-trike "powered by an electric motor that Mars an output of 3 kilowatts (6.4 HP) can produce continuously and 15 kilowatts at a pressure, making the helicopter trike to hit a top speed of 45 mph. "Pretty impressive … but I would still like it better with the option of the pedal.
