Cracking Trike.

At Chauvigny today for lunch, while sitting along came a few bikers, they parked up close to our car. It is a belter!!

Not VW engine though but I agree zero advantages.

I see some good design engineering in that trike, look at the beautiful and skilful work on the tube framework alone , certainly not a “pile of poo”. But each to their own I guess.

Peugeot/ford engines from memory ....and even a CVT version ....

Each to their own BUT jeez that's ugly ...

Looks like someone found a skip full of scrap with a reliant Robin in it and used every single bit .
If you NEED 3 wheels fair enough ...but at least try to make it look nice,don't just keep bolting stuff on till there's no more room .

You may be thinking of quad bike, I have seen a handful on aires during our travels, owners start them up and leave for the day, return, load back on trailer, and that is it, no more noise than you would have with MH's entering and leaving.

The Trike is the Trotter Trading motor reincarnated.

It is Terry, but it compromises my Peter Fonda look with having a roof ............

I like my Trike which is German factory built Rewaco with a Harley 1600 engine. I can drive with my car licence as I don’t have a motorbike licence. I can also tow it behind my Motorhome

ID always worry about a foot dropping of the peg and getting caught under the bars, id fit an alloy plate if it were mine.

Unless you have baby feets Trev it can't happen the leg/ankle would hit the bars first.

Pretty much impossible even without boots on

Fecking hell it's a bleeding griller on a bike.

Got any more pics?

Err, the trike not the mahunkey

They do look mega comfy, does it have reverse, how's it done?

It’s got a 4 speed gearbox with reverse using the engine, ( some trikes use the starter motor for reverse).
It’s very comfortable and like sitting in an armchair for the passenger. Did bring it to a Motorhomer rally at Stratford upon Avon and quite a few members had a ride on it.

I used to be a member of HDRCGB shipley and the treasurer Don Frear had a Harley trike home made out of a sportster, he had back & neck trouble but he went all over on that thing.
