Why A Trike?

Here are a few good reasons:

  • A Trike can be ridden legally in the UK using your car licence (or bike licence)
  • A motorcycle test is not necessary in order to ride a Trike of any cubic capacity
  • Avoid the 'born again biker' label when returning to motorcycling
  • It is legal to ride a Trike without wearing a helmet (though not recommended)
  • Riders enjoy the open air when out on a Trike
  • Low vehicle tax, as for a bike ,and low insurance
  • Free motorcycle parking in cities and towns (check with the local authority first)
  • No congestion charge*
  • A Trike is a very safe mode of transport - don't become a 2-wheeled accident statistic
  • Extend the freedom motorcycling brings into the later years of life
  • A Trike is more accessible for female riders as well as male
  • A Trike can be readily adapted for riders with many disabilities
  • VAT is not charged on Trikes (or the Scorpion III) for registered disabled owners
  • The luggage capacity is better on a Trike, which is especially good for touring
  • A Trike can legally tow a small trailer
  • A Trike does not have to be balanced when moving
  • A Trike does not fall over when stationary
  • A large Trike can be ridden safely by a short person
  • Riders enjoy sitting high on a Trike, with improved visibility - especially for touring
  • It is possible to carry more than two people on a Trike (ask us for details)

*VAT can be reclaimed if your business is registered. Some disabled Trikers are VAT exempt - see modifications.
