        A tricycle only has 3 wheels. I’m seeing 2 in front, 2 in rear, and if there’s a wheel in back, that makes 5. Your math ain’t mathing.

          Every source I’ve seen refers to it as a tricycle. I don’t know what the additional two wheels are for, but they aren’t touching the ground in the pic, so I’m inclined to keep the original description.

            So if it leans forward… Does it become a quadcycle?

              Its for when she’s in a hurry, she leans forward and really gets some elbow grease in there
