Please enlighten Finnish-mongreling north-europeans,
??? Finnish-Mongreling :))
"dreirad"-> tricycle of sorts ?
Well, it's a russian tricycle - I don't call it a trike,
since unlike this wheeny constructions wit VW engines the
front part is a real bike, like an old war time BMW, and
the back like a pickup.
Eventualy check the folowing (aussi) page:

Note my front fork is quite different (mine is
one of the prototype units - read, quality is even
more a problem :)
If you're Finnish, URAL should be a known brand to you -
at least the Finns are somewhat famous among the (western)
European Ural driver for their remodelling skills.

Yeah, from the few pics I glanced at via google it
just might
carry a driver and an Apple I :) You could always attach a rope
and just tow those big 11/780s... Would be fun trying to outrun
it in a steep downhill slope, "Man Chased by VAX!".
At least in the russian flyer they aprease a netto load
of at least 500 kg (~1100 lbs).
Well, let's see - I'll pick it up next monday at the
Baltimore Harbour.
