Dear Buckles.

I noticed J.C.Hall has a special interest in the tricycle on which Bijoya was performing in Circus Krone. Here's another photo (publicity-picture of the circus) with Christel Sembach Krone presenting the act. Must have been in the early seventies.

Yes I am interested in elephant trikes. I like this one most out of all I've seen. At this angle it apparently is rear wheel drive. I wonder if it is one side or both sides pulling? On the one Castle had, the punk did not sit down but rather stepped on from the back and was direct drive to front wheel cranks, however it was patterned after this one.
The other ones I have seen over here including the one Mac McDonald had built were chain drive and I always thought they looked more like somthing that was built for the handicap person,
"not that there is anything wrong with that". Thank you all for these photos. Love this blog.
