Re: Who makes Concept Tri-Mantis Trikes?
I googled "concept tri-mantis trikes", numerous retailers but nothing more that I could see. It might be worth trying one of the more local bike shop type retailers (rather than big chain/online outlets) to see if they could help.
Posting a close up photo of the freewheel (in technical section perhaps?) might elicit some technical help.
If the freewheel in question is a cheap single speed frewheel, quite a few have nothing for a removal tool to fit onto - you then have to use a vice with or without dismantling the free wheel (usually destroying it in the process).
If you have to replace the free wheel, fitting a better quality freewheel should mean you have one with the 4 prong remover slot for future maintenance. These freewheels can still be had fairly cheaply. The 4 prong remover in question is the larger BMX type tool, not the smaller standard Suntour type from the 1980's/90's.
As a make, out local pile it high bike store - Cycle King - used to sell (very) cheap bikes under the Concept name, but I don't think they do now. Cycle King have branches throughout the south east I think. Their technical skills are rather er variable, so their customers tell me.

Worth having a look at the ''on three wheels'' forum join and ask questions, lots of people who know trikes and not just lightweights

The name they give, Avocet sports should help track down a distributor who are usually the best bet for finding a dealer who knows about them. Edit https://www.insyncb2b.co.uk/view-our-bikes looks like the distributor
