Hi, my name is Stéphen (Stoufy) I'm French (excuse for my English),41 YO, working at Disneyland Paris for 20 years (if some of you want to came, you'll be my guest) and i've just order a 3 wheeler (18 of April) in racing Grey with tan leather delivery Mid 2013. I just read that the real power is 82 bhp and not 120 new owner could confirm that this power is enough to have pleasure and pretty good acceleration?, i also read in your forum that some parts begin to rust could you please tell me wich parts (photo?).

Hi Stephen and welcome.
I own a 3 wheeler and have just completed 1200 miles in it.
In my view it does have enough power, I was recently on a car run with a Skyliner in front of me and a Corvette C7 behind and they were both surprised at how quickly the 3 wheeler accelerated.
We were on some nice twisty roads, obviously on an autoroute they would have been over the horizon before me.
It will be a long wait, but I think you'll find it worth it.

Burn outs are far more easy than 82hp would suggest

After 800 miles, I would agree with the others it has enough power.
I don't see any rusted parts on mine yet, but it hasn't been driven on any wet salted winter roads.

Welcome Stoufy. The waiting can be painful but the reward will be great.

Welcome Stoufy. Take a look at Jay's video post on the M3W. Looks fun to me and seems to have ample power.

No jokes about Mickey Mouse cars please guys. Bienvenue Stoufy. J'ai essayé la 3 roues début avril chez Morgan France et j'ai trouvé les sensations plutôt brutales et fabuleuses En aucun cas j'ai senti une manque de chevaux. ceci dit, je roule en 4/4 !!
