could be a couple things.

wheel bearings, bent frame... those are the two that happend to me to cause it to do that.

carrier bearing,check the area around the swing arm bolt to see if has egged out and moving back and fourth.more air in one tire than the other or if they where cheap tire even though there suppose to be same size one is larger than the other .and like said in the previous post anything bent or tweaked

if the swingarm bolt holes are egged you can weld a washer on to reinforce the area.if you need a picture let me know i can take one tomorrow

first thing id check would be rear tires, even if they have the same pressure the trike can still pull. I use a flexible measuring tape (cant think of the name of them) to measure around the tires and adjust tire pressure accordingly

I would check rear tyre diameters first, just use a piece of string

Mine pulled and everything was fine until I checked the steering. Someone cranked the steering stem nut down so tight that it would not track properly.
