For it to handle correctly I would think it would be so stiffly sprung as to negate the irs altogether.

i agree.. all the stabilty on a trike comes from the rear axle.. irs on a trike would be a complete mess..

Well it can be good and bad. I was thinking that for the people who are going to go around the farm or into the woods for a few hours that the ride would be alot smoother and maybe more injoyabile then the solid axle, but for the people who just want to go around the track or who want to corner and go fast it would serve no purpose. just my 2cent
