Or you could try Tric-ity, pronounced similar to rickety?

Anyone interested in this bike?

Saw it (on the web) for the first time today and it does look pretty cool I have to say.

Basically a modified XMax 300 which would be the perfect platform for one of these.

Could be a really useful machine and you dont need any sort of bike licence to ride it (but at least a car licence)

There's an earlier thread about this with links to various magazine road tests.
Our favourite Youtuber Cageron2wheels did a video on it - he quite liked many aspects of it as a commuter, but found the extra weight dragged down performance and the handling was a bit slow.

They are using what look like 3 wheel scooters as suport bikes in the Tour de France don't know what breed though.

I like my Tricity 125 Though might be trading in for a new n- max 125 when in stock :(
Find the 125 under powered and heavy , Great in the wet though.

Thought about the Tricity 300 but can’t add to multi bike policy, Tax is £91 and is really heavy .

Still I won’t turn down a test ride when there at the dealers :twisted:

Is it really? More than a Tmax! Presumably cos its a trike rather than a 'bicycle'. So...if it was like an MP3, with a narrower track than the Tricity, then it would still be a (3 wheeled!) Bicycle, and thus cheaper tax?

I did once take interest in a 3 wheeler years back but luckily i snapped out of it very quickly

That beeping it does would rive me crazy plus the extra maintenance required and extra parts. No thank you
