At least with this design, you avoid the problems that are created by having 2 rear wheels but only one rear wheel being a driving wheel.
As for the handling "at speed", I'll try to find some pictures of a 3 wheeled Morgan cycle-car for a demonstration. That is, the two-wheels-in-front design does provide more control, but in a fast corner, one wheel will still be up in the air.
