Motorcycle (with or without sidecar) (TC17) up to 400cc is £38 per year but there is a separate classification for Tricycles as below

Tricycles (not over 450kg unladen) (TC50)
Tricycle not over 150cc say the new yamaha tricity 125cc is £17
All other tricycles above 150cc are £80 per year or £44 for 6 months

so when he renews its gonna be £80

I think they charge extra when you need stabilisers.
