I am thinking about buying a 3 wheeler but live "Up North" (just south of Huddersfield) & am struggling to find one for sale to test drive, without of course taking a full day to go down to the factory.
My main issue is that I am 6ft 4 & therefore will need the pedals set all the way back.
Is anyone similar & can assure me I will have enough legroom ?
Alternatively are there any kind souls out there who would let me at least sit in, or if not, drive one locally ?

Many thanks

At 6'4", and I'm assuming a commensurate shoe size, I'm sadly thinking you aren't going to fit.

I am of similar size and size 12/13 (UK) feet. I was initially disappointed that I didn't fit but with a steering wheel spacer (2") and a late car, pedals fully forward it is fine. I found the gear lever on early cars to be an issue with a passenger (it is further back). It will also depend on your body/leg proportions. Long body/short legs is ideal smile
On the first test drive and at the factory I drove with no shoes.
I would gladly let you try mine but we are hardly local N.Devon/Cornwall Borders.
Two more options if you still struggle is a smaller wheel and/or centre console.

Good luck

Im the same size as you and resorted to putting a small momo steering wheel on it and now have LOADS of room. 25,000 miles in under 2 years all over Europe and been very very comfortable. with a standard wheel you will def struggle. I do get up north for time to time so we could always meet half way somewhere. Its a big investment if you can't fit in it!

Revolutions in Perth have a registered one in Brooklands green with 19 miles on it. Its 280 miles around 5 hrs to get there but if you could convince them you were serious they would likely check the pedals were fully forward. You could then drive it home. They supplied a 25mm steering spacer to me. Take the slimmest shoes you have.
