SYD: HendersonRd - who is the faired trike?

about 7 sec in, blink or you miss it. A faired trike by the looks, not a velo.

Anyone recognise it? I rather like what I can see of it.

Looks like a butcher bike or cargo trike.

My immediate thought was it was one of the tadpole kid carriers - not with the big box, but one of the more nimble versions, probably for just 1 kid

Yes I'd agree. MK1-E .
I managed to get to ride one some time back.

It was really strange at first with the way it leaned and I took some time getting used to.
The woman who owns it uses it to take her kids to school/ preschool and for shopping.
I have also seen a couple of others in town. Costs more than my velo if I recall correctly.

Ah OK... I thought that was a low 'bent with a rider behind but not enough wheels in shot!
