Anyone got any info on this trike style quad thing
Saw this at Detling...
 
Wierd trike style quad
I thought it was quite cool in a quirky kind of way. Does anyone have any info on it? There was no-one about when i walked past (I didnt do well at
catching people that i wanted to speak to at all)

Yer its...
.....rather impractical
......a little pointless
......comparable performance probably isnt that great
.....looks a little strange
But the more i look at the more i seem to like it, maybe i should take my medication

The owner built it as a one-off, Nitram knows him & can no doubt offer more info.
It is simply the motorbike centre chunk, 1:1 steering via the handlebars thro car style suspension at the front with a diff at the back. He told me it
didn't need SVA??? which didn't seem right to me (i would have thought it would go thro quadricycle SVA).
He originally built it as an off roader, but hasn't really got enough suspension travel for that. Have to say I may be barmy but I don't
think I'll be building one!
& how dare you not take a pic of my Furore it was just behind & to the side of that thingy & much prettier! I can see Nitrams rear wing in
the back of your shot! I think my car is hidden by the crowd of people standing behind the Libra.

I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Taking a pic of the Furore was not quite so easy as it seemed to always have people peering at it spoiling the shot  but think i might have one
somewhere.
Have to say it is a very impressive car, the quality of the bodywork is and the rear seating arrangement/cover is very clever

Around here it would surely have to be approved.
A motorcylce has 2 wheels or 3 incl the sidecar
A tricylce has 3 or 4 if the engine has max. 15 kW and weight less than 400 kgs
A car has 4 or more .....
So in my opnion it is a weird looking car.
I would make a another frame.
And the "motorcyle-part" should roll like the carver. then i could like it.
