Tadpoles

[stuvy]

No not what you did as a kid with a net and bucket but tadpole trike

This popped up on YouTube and I think it looks great

Would love to build something along those lines but it would take me about 30 years and end up looking something like that new tesla pick up.

Doesn’t look comfy to ride in that position but I do like the look of it.

It seems too tall and the front end is too narrow, I think it would soon be on its side if he took a corner at speed.

@Ali the seat looks too high for me

@JEZGUZ i think with the beemer engine it’s a show piece as opposed to a scratcher for trackdays

There is a leaning one Iv seen on YouTube power sliding around a gravel pit

Naysayers the lot of you - it'll be fine. Likely it will lift the inside wheel when pushed, but a reverse trike has to be a better idea that two at the back. I have plans...

I would ave gone and done a replica of the early car- especially as e done 90 percent o the work already ! Tat gives me an ideea...

It's no taller than a bike and the best thing about tadpoles is they drift Modern sport bikes wheelie if you dump the clutch, stoppie if you anchor on too hard they generally don't because you ride them so they don't (unless you want)

Drivable on a car licence too?

Only if you passed pre dec 2015 if I recall

At last, something I can drive on my licence other than a milk float I was after the change where you're limited to 3500kg and a 750kg trailer.

Yep me too!

Really like this but then I would love a tadpole trike anyway. Have to agree the seat looks a bit too high though.

My dad has a three wheel scooter 400 cc was absolutely horrible

My sister rode it and said it was great... the difference between someone that hasn’t ridden a 2 wheel bike and then rides it compared to myself that rides regularly but couldn’t trust the front end
