I dont know why but i like this, It doesn't have a reverse so how would it pass IVA.

TR1KE

it doesn't have to pass IVA as it's a trike, not a car.

I think it is great, being a wheel short of a seven, it doesn't need a reverse gear

It does need a MSVA though

MSVA i know thats a bike thing so i assume still doesn't need a reverse then.

I always like the idea of a reverse trike, but I always end up questioning how much rear grip they have. They must be considerably lighter than a 7 type, which let's be honest often have trouble getting the power down and holding it out of corners so how much less traction do you get with half the contact patch....?

same power and identical gearing to the R1 donor, but with a flat tyre rather than rounded. ive seen this thing on a track, very

The r1 it comes from has a contact patch the size of a 50p piece, I am sure it wouldn't be too shabby.


Though I;d love to see what happens when it lets go, does it just spin or is it controlable.
