American Three Wheelers

But with motor vehicles the CG is usually lower unless the vehicle is fully laden, a relatively rare condition.

I don't see how you can a get a vehicle's CG much lower than on a 'bent trike.

Because the real CG on a pedal trike depends on the rider being in place too.............

I've ridden a few of the Hase trikes and they are pretty stable but you can lift the front wheel if you really go for it.

Bonnet plasticard attached. Dash and wheels painted. Interior finished. Thinking about adding false fender shapes and removable spats for nose-wheel access.

There was an American 3 wheeler that came out around 1948 (funnily enough, at the same time as the Tucker Torpedo).  They only made a few (less than 10 iirc) before the owners of the company were indited for fraud and embezzling.....Hmmm, similar story to Tucker...

This car was meant to cost under $1000 so it would have been the cheapest car on the market at the time!

Great project PW! 


Re Clarkson: great! Now we can sell all the three-wheeler clubs the "Clarkson must die by cheesewire" t-shirts that the bikers have had for years....

 Its a marvelous concept, PW-I look forward to seeing the finished product.

Cushman made a series of USA Three Wheelers.  I remember them as being used for mail delivery back in the 1960's.
