Many were made or have been made, perhaps not in the style as pictured though. I liked this one.

On the other hand, would you prefer 2 wheels in front, or in back? In back for me! cheers!

My guess is a geometry problem with the reliant, plus a higher c of g. Some smart guy could do a rear engine, single front wheel that would be competitive. Think of an Ariel Atom with a single front wheel, and front/rear single seats!

cheers! Cool

ps: google images says I'm wrong, but I'd still like to try! Cheesy
