sub3wheeler
Did you guys see this trike? There was an article published in Autoweek. Style-wise, I think they did a great job.
Makes me want to build one!

Nice !!!
I dont think Mr SVA will like the headlight position much though !
Doesnt matter what Sh*t life throws at you, there is always some other poor bugger worse off!!!!!

Nice front.
I looks like a wood splitting wedge  I like the two front 1 rear design for 3 wheelers from the ols days. A friends' dad used to have a
Berkeley we used to ride down the drive and push back. It had a kickstart under the bonnet and a 2 stroke engine, Great stuff. You could lift the back
end and turn it round if there was room.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Since it is registered as a bike, would it need to go through SVA?
To me, it looks like an upside down canoe!

I think Mr (jobsworth) SVA man would rub his hands at the prospect of certifying that!

MSVA is a special SVA for bikes (and trikes that weigh less than 410kg). It is slightly less stringent than SVA for certain things, including
lighting I think.

Peteff: Wow, someone who has heard of a berkley! My dad had one as his first car (before i was even thought about!) ran it for a couple of years
before he got his car license. Apparently he changed the original engine for some kind of 600 honda engine and adapted an MG fibreglass roof for it.
Sounds like good fun!

Reminds me a little of the Honda Side-by-Side racecar minus one wheel - link.
I quite like the styling too but Heikki Naulapää 3-wheeler design is still my absolute favourite. My
brother is stripping a spare 650 shaft drive bike with the intent of building one very like it (though probably not with the centreless wheels!)

I agree that the Aprilla is the best. But in the case of a frontal collision (or even hitting a curb), the nuts will be smashed to bits!!

The bow is so pointy they had to paint it "Danger Red". 
I also note the sub3wheeler is built from "seemless" tube! I would have thought the tubes were highly significant.
Cheers, Rorty.
