I just love this!!! Some laid off NASA engineers have designed a new sports vehicle, -it's a three wheeled motorcycle/car. I can't wait to get my hands on one. TREYCYCLE-THE WORLD'S FIRT BULT FROM SCRATCH 3 WHEELER

No thanks,
What is the fascination with a tricycle?
Just add or remove a wheel.

I'd still be concerned about taking across a off-camber corner going down hill.
I don't care who built it.

it's not the fist "built from scratch" 3 wheeler. THey engine and trans are production units from Chrysler, meaning they didt 'built it from scratch. Might as wel call ALL kit built 3 wheelers "built from scratch."

Like my favorite one, the Indycycle:

Actually, I like the looks of the Indycycle better then the Trecycle. I think the single wheel should be in back like the old classic Morgan three-wheeler rather then in the front like the Treycycle.

I was traveling down Interstate I-5 one day and made a rest-stop. While there a couple of fellows pulled in riding a couple of very beautiful three-wheeled motorcycles. I don't remember the name of them but the fellows told me they were made in Canada. These three-wheelers drew quite a crowd at the rest-stop.

This seriously was designed by engineers? Looks like someone added an extra rail to a go cart and stretched it out. This will flop.

It's not all that unlike my VW trike, which is the lower rear quarter of a 1972 VW bug and a 1976 Goldwing front wheel and handlebars, with the drivers seat about halfway between.

My chief concern about the Treycycle is it's Chrysler transmission. The engine is probably OK, but Chrysler has had gear problems for years.

But, I still wonder what they'll sell for.

Yeah! I found it, the three-wheeled motorcycle I saw made in Canada:
