    I was asking but from a slightly different perspective, that of having
    tried a 'bent tadpole. I remembered feeling something the first few
    times I steered (then got used to it) where it felt almost like it
    wanted to go the opposite direction to where I'd just told it to, then
    would snap back to the 'right' way we were turning. At the time I
    thought it was possibly just bodyweight shifting to the 'outer' side of
    the turn before I compensated to lean 'in' to the turn, but what you
    said made me wonder :-)

    Not sure that counter steer has any effect on trikes. I think the
    steering is always positive (I'm sure Mr Larrington can offer an example
    of a lean steer trike to prove me wrong though!).

    http://www.maxmatic.com/ttw_hpv.htm but I wouldn't swear any of them rely
    on countersteer (I think the Aileron would, in high speed "unlocked" mode).

    A "virtual single-track"/"free lean" tilting three-wheeler like
    http://www.moebius.es/ccalleja/index.htm will countersteer like a two
    wheeler, and you could build an HPV using the same principles.

    Some one who reads German might be able to tell whether this does:
