Quad bikes have long been a feature of our world, both on and OFF the road- but does anyone remember a brief time in time early to mid '80s when THREE wheeler versions were available?
I recall seeing some on display at a garage just South of Birmingham c.'83, brand new and regarded as a huge innovation- my friend from school was with me and really wanted one! Can't remember the manuacturer, though I do seem to remember that the pop band Tears For Fears featured them in their video for 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World'. They weren't terribly safe as I understand, a number of people came a cropper on them and some had quite serious injuries- so maybe it's no bad thing that they were phased out. Maybe it'd have been better if the two wheels were put in FRONT and the single one at the back, like the old-style Morgan runabout cars. But at all events, do these ring any bells??
