Tricycles

I went looking for tricycles
(due to a thought process that started 'but what if I had to go to another planet' again)
and I am getting really frustrated with the google
(as many people have observed)
There is no combination of keywords that shows you only the thing you asked for and not the things they think you should ask for
plus everything is electric
even if I say Not Electric or -electric.

It is pants.

Also when I found tricycles, they appeared to exist in three flavours: Sold Out, Recalled, and Around Since 1920s and Looks It.

Recalled was rather concerning. The last news update on their site appeared to be from March and their bikes are just listed as Not Available. There is a set of instructions for how to get your trike to a dealer, and it includes going very slowly and checking the trike for cracks.

... Around Since 1920s has definite appeal in comparison...

Turns out 'heavy duty' is trike code for 'really heavy rider', except only the heavy trikes listed how much a rider could weigh? So how are you supposed to figure it out generally?

One maker had lots of disability adaptations listed, so that's good. But guess whose stuff was Sold Out?
I mean to be fair they have some left for sale, but not afaict ones that tell you what a rider can weigh (the sold out model: 18stone out of a max 30stone load).

It's a good thing I am not in fact going to another planet.
