Greenspeed has been around longer than most so there is a lot of
imitation of their designs.

Just don't think you will suddenly be fast on a trike, it takes building
new muscles. And the profile of speed vs road conditions is different
than uprights, even somewhat different from two wheel recumbents.

Depends on what you plan on doing. The 16" Greenspeeds do not have the
wide ranging gearing of the 20" Greenspeeds. I own a GTR, about ten
years old. I increased the gearing range on the GTR even wider than it's
stock for comfortable touring. From 11 to 125 gear inch range.

Read Greenspeed's own description of the intended purpose of the smaller
wheel models. Think about how you will use the trike.
