Actually I think it's more complex than that.
IIRC you can ride a 3 wheeler up to 550 kgs with a B1 entitlement but a Trike can only weigh up to 410 kgs otherwise it becomes a 3 wheel car.
It's a very grey area.

you can drive a reliant kitten on a b1 bike licence not as much fun as a robin but harder to tip over

I though a Kitten was a full 4 wheeled car?

From www.trikeshop.co.uk/trike_law.htm
1. Motorcycle - New licence holders are limited to 25kw/33bhp for the first two years of their licence, unless they take the large motorcycle test
(Direct Access). Less than 410kg unladen weight.
2. Motorvehicle - Not exceeding 3500kg, and not more than 8 seats excluding the driver; basically the "car" group. The entitlement to
drive a vehicle not exceeding 7.5tonnes, for those who passed a test prior to 1/1/97, is covered under group "C1".
3. Quadracycle (licence group B1) - 3 or 4 wheel motorvehicles not exceeding 550kg unladen weight, but exceeding 50kmph and 50cc. This is a relatively
unknown group that brings the UK more in line with Europe. If these type of vehicles exceed 550kg, they then fall into the motorvehicle group.
If you've passed a full motorcycle test, you will have group "B1" on your licence, although if you haven't passed a car test,
you wont have group "B". This creates a bit of an anomaly as your motorcycle can't exceed 410kg, but you could ride a trike up to
550kg, because of your "B1" entitlement. This is worth knowing, as there are quite a few riders who limit themselves to a trike under
410kg without realising.
Does that make a Kitten a Quadracycle?
Like I said a grey area.

6 toes must play havoc on the jam collection device, the dooflage adjuster must be as tricky as a push me pull you plug hole thing

Well I think it is a pretty nice effort and very much like a Grinnal Scorpion on its layout , but I am sure ut would have looked better with cycle
gaurds on the front rather than swept front wings . and i bet It would go pretty nicely
Best wishes IAIN
life is not the rehearsal , it's the show so don't sit there thinking about it DO IT NOW
