Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Alternative for the M3W?

Specially for the bikeriders under us.Is this an alternative for the M3W?
Same lay-out; 2 steering wheels in front,one driven wheel rear and a V-twin engine.

Hi Rudolf,
Interesting, but too car-like I think....how about this one that leans http://www.dechavesgarage.com/view/index.php?tp=2&mod=19

In my mind, if your going to sit and steer like a biker you need to lean in the corners or it's no fun.

P.S. If you want to go even crazier than that.....try one of these ! http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2008/04/26/the-uno-parallel-wheel-electric-motorcycle/

Rudolf,
I saw one of these while we were in Prague in September. never knew of their existence before that (and forgot to look things up when I got home) so thanks for the link.

Cheers,

Hi N-M

I have seen the motorcycle with the 2 front wheels from the link before.It looks like the scooter from Piaggio with the two front wheels.

BRP is a very big manufacturer of snow scooters,I think that is why the vehicle is looking a bit massive.It just looks like a snow scooter on wheels.

The electric big from the second link is completely new for me.Thanks for that.

Interesting idea, but for me it's either got to be a car or a bike, this idea seems to be the worst of all worlds - no leaning into the corners, no being able to filter in queues and overtaking limited to the space a car needs, and not even the comfort of a car.

How about this for a bike!
I don't the idea of 3.5 million volts under the saddle though.

Bike engined sit-on lawnmower would be a good alternative...

Hayabusa power in a ride-on - think I'd want a roll cage too

Try a Grinnall Scorpion ( they are BMW powered)

Nice looking, interesting, but very sportscar like.

If one did not want the classic apearance and build of the Morgan I don't know why you would choose a 3 wheeler that looked like a little modern sports car. Surely you would have all of the disadvantages of both 4 and 3 wheels without much advantage.
