Stand alone three wheeler test

A great looking M3W and an honest, objective report.

That HD paint colour really looks good, as do the shiny front wheels!

I was really meaning the discussion of the three "motorcycles"in the video of the three vehicle test

A lot of good and fair comment in the video.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the front suspension on the Slingshot more or less fully adjustable? If you know what you are doing you should be able to get it to steer pretty much how you want, or as is more common with adjustable suspension you can turn a benign, good handling machine into a completely evil widow maker in just a few minutes! Adjustability can be a double edged sword.
I'm not convinced the spend as much as possible approach to customising the M3W adds to it at all. (Add in usual "each to their own" comment here)

Don't know who, but somebody in power in the EU considers all three wheelers motorbikes. Anyone who passed their car test after 19th January 2013 and is not yet 21 cannot drive one thanks to the third EU directive on driving licences. And even when they are 21, they cannot drive one abroad.

A full motorbike licence is the only current legal way of getting an exportable licence. Older car licence holders are grandfathered.

Largely admitted to be lunacy by UK officialdom and the pressure is being maintained for the fourth driving licence directive (when it comes) to put some common sense back in.

Probably the last thing we want is for the legislative bureaucrats to closely examine any of these vehicles. If they decide that the M3W is a car for driving license purposes then how long till it is killed off by the need for the same requirements as a car; air bags, stability control, impact protection and so on, they might even want to stop small children burning themselves on hot exhausts and engines.

You have a motorcycle. You have a car. We have a cyclecar.
The trick will be to get the fools who think they run things to see the difference.

Until 19th January 2013, the Morgan was quite happy being a motorbike for homologation purposes and a car for driving licence purposes. The two can be separate as the driving licence needed by anything should for safety be dictated by the controls and road space needed.

Heaven help you if you have a motorbike as heavy as a Morgan three wheeler!
