The trikes were all 2wd IIRC. I don't think they ever made one that was AWD,
if that's even possible on a vehicle like that.

The transfer case situation is easy! Well, it may be easy in theory...

The idea I had was to take 2 front differentials from a 4x4 ATV and flip the
one in the rear upside down. Then fabricate a driveshaft to connect the two,
weld a sprocket onto the driveshaft and you're done. I'd get it balanced
though if you're intending to get this thing moving faster than ~30 mph.
