Bit of a stetch calling it a company, there are people on here with more than that stored in their garage.

Bit more info

LOVE the first picture on that website, looks like some overenthusiastic biker drove his ZX9 into the back of a fairground ride!!

Having said that, the front suspension looks pretty trick to be honest.

designer - 4/11/10 at 10:41 PM

That's the UK version of the Sportcycle.

It was to be built here under license, but the bloke lost the rights to produce them a while ago.

designer - 4/11/10 at 10:45 PM

Also, I have a set of the technical drawings he mentions.

PSpirine - 4/11/10 at 10:49 PM

If they are public domain, please post them here, I'm quite interested in the front end.

god damn thats ugly!! What a lazy (and crap) way to "design" a 3 wheeler

Ben_Copeland - 5/11/10 at 06:45 AM

Hardly a company and ramming a bike into the back of a hidious f1 copy didn't do it any favours!

kj - 5/11/10 at 06:49 AM

Sure it was up for sale in complete kit car this month.

designer - 5/11/10 at 06:54 AM

The drawings are not public domain, they are a commercial item.

AARRGGHHH my eyes, WHY OH WHY

that sooks like cack, someone crashed a bike into the back of a toy car and then glued it in place

what on earth are people thinking of

with some proper rear bodywork and design, that could maybe work, but not while the bike is on show!!

do all that work and ruin by not bothering with the rear, why not at least remove all the rear cowl and seat and build a bit of body work to cover it up

Part of the idea is that it can be returned to motorbike state over the course of a weekend, so that would explain why it looks like it does from the rear.

Doesn't explain (or excuse) the front, though!

I saw it in last months mag. He wants 15 grand for the company!

Although it is as ugly as sin - this 3 wheeler is quite useful as the original bike frame is not modified, the vehicle does not need an MSVA test, just a basic VIC to get it correctly registered.

"does not need an MSVA test, just a basic VIC to get it correctly registered."

What's a VIC?

scootz - 7/11/10 at 07:36 PM

Vehicle Identity Check... not sure how it applies in this case though!

Basically a DVLA check to see that the conversion is what it claims to be.
i.e. - a reversible modification so that the vehicle could be easily put back to original and that enough of the original bike is retained and with the correct vehicle identity, frame and engine numbers per the original registered vehicle.
