On any manual transmission car, I always have used first gear sparingly when it comes to brisk acceleration. Second gear has always been the gear I give the vehicle some gas in. These rules will only be underscored even more for me on my 3W. The 3 Wheeler drivetrain, though mostly robust, is incredibly complicated, and it’s not likely to get less expensive to maintain over the course of time.
I am quite frankly a bit surprised at tots failure considering the car has barely turned 1300 miles, but, flukes happen and I’m hardly upset. After all, with the means to spend nearly sixty grand on a toy, life is hardly the worst.
I’ll report back when I have the car and I’ve driven it a little - I’m now genuinely curious to see how the drive feels.
