I was chatting to the owner last week. Ingenious little thing - the flap
at the back comes down to form a ramp, he pulls himself up the ramp in
his chair, closes the flap behind him and off he goes. Reckons it'll do
about 85mph.

I suggested he put a litre engine in it and go some kind of land speed
record.

 

I saw one of a those last summer at High Beech - reminded me a little
of a roman-style chariot - just needed stick-out rotating blades on
the hubs of the rear wheels.

 

Except they're not.

 

Wotcha.

Oh yus ;-)

First trike I built was back in 1983 - so much easier then.

 

The Swiss Ecomobil uses a similar system.

Saw one parked at LHR recently. Wondered whose it was.
