Chally2 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 rumuor in my day was that you could drive it on a bike licence. Just get your test done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twitchynik Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Used to be able to years ago as it was in same category as a bike and in them days all you needed was a provisional license to go tearing around on a crazy 2 stroke, up to 250 I think. Should imagine it's a bit different these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZ550Kevlar Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 You need a full motorbike or car licence to drive a 3 wheeler as they come under a trike. new licences don`t entitle you to motorbike withour a pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Biggest mistake I ever made in life was to delay getting my driving licence. As said, just do it. I missed out on years of fun. Even if you could buy a three wheeler on a provisional, you'd just be a danger to yourself and others. ...Plus, your insurance would be through the roof. It's bad enough for people who have passed and have some NCB under their belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpowder The only case in which both parties have come out and said no such injunction exists I belive. Sadly speaking to some aircrew on a BA flight they said he was nothing but an *** on the flight, lacking manners and tact. I still love his environmental policies though.

Imperfection Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 If you feel so compelled to drive a 3 wheeler-atleast choose something with a little bit of style. Its a Bond Bug if you didnt know by the way and not cheap either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy. Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 OP, you'll be pleased to hear that you can get a quad bike on a provisional. Still have to do your CBT, but it's 7 hours on a Saturday, so not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

four-wheel-drive Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Its all probably changed but years ago you could drive a three wheeler on a full bike licence as long as it did not have a reverse gear or if it did have one you had to take it out. Not that it mattered as most three wheelers are so light that you would have no trouble pushing them backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a Bond Bug if you didnt know by the way and not cheap either. I always liked the look of the Bond Bug the main reason why people did not buy them was that I think you could buy a new Mini for the same price as a Bug and a Bug only seats two people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFC Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I used to drive a Reliant on a full bike licence. 400kg kerbside weight is the criteria. I've had the old Trotter style vans, 21E I think, and Robins. Great vehicles and faster than you think, because they're so light. I used to love it because people could not bear to be stuck behind me. It was obvious that they were thinking "OK, I'll overtake him on the next bend". If you slowed down through a bend then that would put the weight forward and tend to tip so the trick was to approach the bend at a reasonable speed then put your foot hard down through the bend and it would stay upright. You could always modify it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
