Yes you can (read it on one of the links but cant remember which)

You need category B1 on your licence to ride or drive a 3 wheeled vehicle of up to 550 kg. You can get B1 with a full bike licence or car licence depending when you got your licence. Your B1 entitlement may only be provisional on newer licences.

thought you could ride a trike because you can drive a 3 wheeled reliant without passemgers though I think
