Sounds all a bit undrivable

Lol ya noob. lmao

I meant 2ft off the ground for designing in it / building frame. (save my back)

Its going to be 150mm - 200mm (whatever i can get away with) off the ground

**Piggy** · 20-02-2014, 09:36 PM

Ah fair enough...you need to specify such things!!! Lol!

Be very curious how this turns out.

Why trike by the way?

Danny2009 · 20-02-2014, 09:48 PM

So he can drive it on a bike licence

You made any progress yet?

**Piggy** · 20-02-2014, 09:57 PM

Even if i passed my car licence now... I cant ride a trike on it. Stupid dvla. Undecided

Been ill as fu*k.. soooo no progress Sad

**Piggy** · 20-02-2014, 10:16 PM

Righto, I think I understand.
This thing guna have a roof n heaters then?

Or is it just the seating position being the main advantage?

You can ride a trike up to 400 kg

Licences issued between January 1997 and 14 October 2012
B1 3 or 4-wheeled vehicles up to 400kg unladen or 550kg if intended to carry goods

**Piggy** · 20-02-2014, 10:23 PM

I understand the licence rules...but trying to see why you would prefer a trike over a bike

Looking forwards to seeing more progress!

Wor Jimmy · 23-02-2014, 05:54 PM
