have you ever biffed it on that thing?
I've been rear-ended by a truck while stopped at a light. I designed a rear bulkhead sufficiently sturdy that it saved me from injury. The tail section was all fucked up and I had to re-true the rear wheel, but I was able to source some used election signs and re-build the tail out of coroplast. The bike has 3 wheels, so it has static stability, and the center of gravity is sufficiently low and far enough forward that it won't tip over in hard cornering. I do donuts with it and hooning it about is a pleasure.
The above photo was taken before it was rear-ended.
There is another major downside I neglected to mention earlier. I cannot carry it on a bus or train. If it has a break down, I don't have AAA. There are a very limited number of vehicles that can transport it if something goes wrong. I carry my tools and spare parts with me for whenever I need to work on it. However, if something breaks that cannot be sourced at a local bikeshop, I'm screwed. Even if it means I'm in the middle of nowhere and 30 miles from the nearest town. There are parts in this vehicle that would have to be ordered from a catalogue, should they fail, and with supply lines being the way they are right now, it could be months before a replacement arrives. Fortunately, I've never been in that sort of situation while travelling. It's reliability is comparable to a decent car, with the caveat that I know how to do my own work and almost everything is relatively simple to fix.
I'm approaching 70,000 miles on it, and total operating cost including replacement parts(chain, tires, ect) and including the cost to build this vehicle has been under $0.06/mile, with the energy used for propulsion being a tiny fraction of the total. I have never been left stranded, even after an accident(although I would have been stranded multiple times if I didn't know how to fix it and didn't carry my tools). Tires/tubes are the most expensive component of its operating cost, at $0.01/mile, followed by chain at $0.004/mile. The more I use this vehicle, the cheaper per mile it gets. It's perhaps the cheapest form of transportation possible, aside from train hopping or hitch hiking, especially considering that the electric motor is much cheaper to use per mile than food calories making it cheaper than a normal bicycle(at least on a long enough timeline for the vehicle's use to pay for its build cost).
Seriously, every travelling anarchist should have something like this, even if it's just a normal 2-wheeled upright ebike. The cheapest way to get one is to build it yourself. The most expensive component of it will be the tricycle. I built mine off of a $600 KMX frame kit and added or designed everything around that frame kit. As it is right now, my build can be replicated for a bit under $3,000 if you do all the work yourself, but I used a lot of high-end components because I don't want anything failing at speed and I have suspension on all three wheels. If that is too expensive, you could find a normal delta-layout adult tricycle like they sell to disabled people and build something appropriate for slower speeds and put a solar roof on it(slower speeds because such a thing won't have a suspension and its center of gravity will be less than ideal, plus it will be quite tip-prone). I built mine to move like a car, but that added greatly to the expense. Something that cruises at 20 mph using an electric motor, and gets a 50 mile range per charge, could be done for around $500 if you get the tricycle used on craigslist or offerup and source your battery pack used(batteryhookup is a good place). The rest of the EV components are fairly inexpensive, especially if you get them used. Solar panels have gotten relatively cheap as of late. If you're patient and look around, you can find working solar panels for less than $0.50/watt, which are perfect for placing on a towable shelter, and which can be used to recharge the traction pack on an electric bike.
