WHAT is that about talking about the Morgan whenever a three-wheeler comes up? The Morgan was uncomfortable, noisy, brutal and decidedly inelegant; the same type of person was drawn to it as the American Gang Bangers on their traditonal, truly horrid Halrey-Davidson `Hogs´. The most successful three-wheeler in history was the Fend designed Messerschmitt Karo 201 which to this day is unequalled in overall efficiency and comfort. There was a MYRIAD of three-wheelers in the 1950´s, most of which were quite fabulous, even if UNDERpowered by todays standards. In case you are NOT aware of these things, may I refer you to the website www.germanmotorcycles.cl. Trust me it will be an eye opener. Gerry Fredrics

Ya, lots of German tech was way ahead of it\'s time, what I keep thinking about is if the German people weren\'t lead by Hitler and made into the bad guy as perceived by the rest of the world, and this includes Japan, in so much as they both needed a butt kicking to put them back into line or under control, however you look at it, where would we be as a world in the technology game. I for one will always buy German first, followed by European before Japanese or Chinese just because of the workmanship and quality.
How much of the German Tech was made available to the Japanese by the German Government/Military to further the war effort? is this where they got the inside tech and then greedily began the theft of the industries?
WWII was a great disservice to the world as far as advancement of society and technology, it\'s a shame, but there is no changing history, and by the looks of what is going on in the Middle East, they haven\'t learned much from it.

I would love to design my own! I really like this trike idea, fit and finish needs to be better; I\'ve seen alot of trexes but they don\'t look finished :/

OK lets take off the rose coloured spectacles and really talk horsepower / handling etc etc etc. Just go to http://www.arielatom.com/specs/atom-500-v8 and you will see the real meaning of motoring enjoyment. No stories, no bull just enjoy..................sorry I forgot its got 4 wheels.........damn go get yourself a car license. Its made in England with some outlets / manufacturing in US but its the same beast that gives you a petrol-head orgasm from whatever side of the Atlantic you are on.

So lets see, none of the conveniences of a car: *limited cargo, *only two seats, *no climate control, *no protection from the elements, *reduced crash protection, *trivial licensing requirements (in the USA, anyway),
Many of the drawbacks of a car *high cost (as much as many luxury cars!), *difficult to park (it may as well *be* a car), *can\'t lean in the curves, *can\'t filter (lane split, for those of you in the US), *can\'t hop the sidewalk to park in that little out-of-the-way nook,
Missing most of the good bits of a motorcycle *cheap to buy, *fuel economy, *cheap and easy to park, *can filter, *hops small lawns in a single bound, *LEANS IN THE TURNS,
And HAS many of the drabacks of a motorcycle *challenging licensing requirements (well, sort of in the USA), *exposed to the rain, cold, wind, snow, falling branches, *very limited cargo capacity, *very limited passenger capacity, *minimal crash protection
So in short this thing is an expensive, lame motorcycle that go\'s quick but is basically a silly-looking track toy at ten times the price of a very good motorcycle and will NEVER GET YOU LAID.
And you wonder whey they aren\'t more successful??? Give it a rest.

I have to agree with stily, Greed has made a half built vehicle over priced for it\'s value. Making a fiber glass mold is only part of the way to making a finished product adding a glaze on top it doesn\'t make it worth anymore except for the material added to it. I happen to love the idea of a reverse trike just not this brand in particular (as is anyway).
