I did that but there was almost zero for the Three Wheeler so that is why I asked here.. id did not however use “take with” as a search parameter so thank you for that tip.
I have also heard thT plugging the rear tire in place is a possibility.

I carry:
Small adjustable wrench Pliers Wire cutter w/ stripper Wire Electrical tape Zip ties Screw driver with multiple bits Duct tape Allen wrench kit Loctite Cleaning rags Spare Cotter pin for rear hub Spark plugs SAE and metric sockets and wrench Large adjustable wrench for rear hub nut
Seems like a lot but I've used them all while on the road at various times. This car is constantly trying to shake itself apart so one needs to carry the stuff necessary to tighten it all back up!
What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.

I have something like Michael plus I added a tire plug kit (rear tire), Walbro fuel pump, Harley rectifier and timing belt. I would like an extra inner tube but have not got around to it. My fear is breaking down where the parts aren’t available. The good news all of this fits in a small tool bag.

I have also heard thT plugging the rear tire in place is a possibility. If you do the Advanced search you can choose which forum to search, still not great though. Probably the easiest way is to do a Google search for the subject and then look for the Talkmorgan topic on that. That seems to work better than the forum search.

Main spanner sizes are 10, 13 and 19mm. There are some 8mm hex heads too and imperial sizes on the engine so 1/2" AF is worth having. I have a tiny 1/4 drive socket set that covers some small size hex head and Allen sizes, talking of which, metric and imperial Allen keys are very useful. If you're going somewhere with little traffic and poor phone signal then a scissor jack (Porsche aluminium off of eBay is nice and light) and a spare tube, tyre levers and a willingness to get stuck in may pay dividends! Plus a footpump too in that situation.

Some great suggestions here, thanks all. I was unaware that a Porsche jack was aluminum, certainly better (lighter) that a very old honda car jack.
Plane ut, good suggestion going through Google first to search.
I have not tried popping the bead on a front wheel such as these, only bicycle wheels which i suspect are far more difficult to lever off the rim. Is there a particular recommended tiretool for doing it?
One tool i carry in my mini coopers is a Leather an Tool. The Swiss Army knife on steroids.
I love this forum, you can get useful, informed answers as well as sofistacted humor 😊

Probably the biggest spare that I have (on motorcycles) is that we both ride.
I used to carry just metric, then I sometimes travel with both a Honda and an HD... So my tool box now includes 8, 10, 12, 14, 17 and 19, and then 1/4, 3/8 1/2 (which works for 13), 9/16, 5/8, and 3/4, then metric and SAE Allen, and various screw drivers.... BTW the Japanese Phillips is different than the American Phillips, tire irons, and when with a sidecar a scissor jack and a 12" adjustable (crescent) wrench. And yes a plug in air pump

Rodger, that split metric and sae stuff drives me crazy. I had a GMC Suburban that required both and younever knew which one you weregoing to need until you tried it. With the 3 wheeler i suspect only the engine would require sae wrenches.
With the good previous suggestions i found a Thread that had a wealth of information on parts and ideas.
I was unaware that Japanese Phillips head is different than the rest of the world. How does it differ? Blade thickness, width and depth?
