Brudeli 654L Leanster On the Road in Europe
28 September 2008Remember the Brudeli 625L tilting trike? When we first covered the prototype over 2 years ago, it looked pretty neat, the 45 degree lean angles it’s capable of seemed like huge fun. Geir Brudeli, inventor of the trike, says they’ve been working on getting it approved for European roads and that hurdle is finally cleared [...]
2009 Harley Davidson Tri Glide Ultra Classic
22 July 2008Harley Davidson is introducing a trike from the factory, the new Tri Glide Ultra Classic. Since so many companies already modify the HD touring bikes to 3 wheel configuration, HD asked, why not make them in house? The advantage of doing this is a trike with a chassis specifically designed as a 3 wheeler from [...]
Cosmo Trike
30 June 2008Just spoke to Jason over at Olmax Fabrication about their new Cosmo trike. If you’ve seen the Big Wheel trikes the kids ride, just picture one that’s very well built, quite a bit larger and motorized and you’ll have an idea of what the Cosmo looks like.
It has a fiberglass body, air ride suspension, a [...]
South Carolina Requiring 3 Wheel Certification
19 June 2008It looks like South Carolina is now requiring a separate 3 wheeler certification if you’re going to be riding a trike or sidecar outfit. Previously a waiver was issued to allow 3 wheel operation, the waivers have been eliminated.

Stealth Tryke From Lehigh Valley Choppers
3 June 2008About a year ago, I got an email from Joe Totenbier of Lehigh Valley Choppers telling me about a new trike he was building. He had some early build photos but it was incomplete and it was hard to tell exactly what the finished product would look like. The one thing I could tell from [...]
Honda Powered Twisted Trike
28 May 2008With all of the trike interest these days, here’s another take on a 3 wheeler. Put a 1000cc Honda inline 4 motorcycle engine into a TIG welded tube frame built just 2 tubes short of SCCA specs, add rack and pinion steering, Wilwood brakes, 6 point harness, Momo F1 type steering wheel and what do [...]
Blackjack Zero - Moto Guzzi Powered 3 Wheeler
29 April 2008The Blackjack Zero, a reverse trike configuration car, has been around for a while powered by a VW flat four engine. They’ve just come out with a version powered by a Moto Guzzi V-Twin which, to my eye, looks better and fits in the tradition of the old Morgan 3 wheelers. Although they have some [...]
