Chris Wayland Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Hi. I am new here and need a bit of advise please. My pride and joy is my Z1100 engined Reliant Trike. The beast has been taxed and tested in the uk for many years. Is there any chance that I could get it registered in France?.Cheers guys......Chris.

Battypuss Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I seem to remember asking about this about ten years ago at the Prefcture and was greeted with howls of laughter. Perhaps they are more clued up now,but I somehow doubt it...good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard-R Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I'm sure last summer i saw some French reg'ed trikes done on the south coast, i think they where 75'ers, I bit rare outside of Cities maybe. Have a look at a couple of French bikers sites and post on there forums for better info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Wiggy Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I don't know why anyone would want to build a trike based on a Reliant Regal / Robin chassis, it must be one of the most dangerous vehicles ever built and I know I usdd to own the John Cobb Special (Aluminium body Cabriolet) when I was a kid, it was forever scraping the body panels along the kerb if you went round a corner too fast.The ideal layout is definately to have the single wheel at the rear,Owen Greenwood proved that back in the sixties. It was so quick going round a corner that the ACU banned it in the end as it was beating the convensional sidecars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Agree, Mr W. Just as Moggie 3-wheelers had it right too. There were loads of these buzzing round LM this year. They looked a real blast:http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2007/02/10/can-am-spyder-details/106 hp; 77 lb/foot of torque.... Wahay.[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice to him is to ride/drive it to the D.R.I.R.E and ask their advice, you might get lucky and find an enthusiast or someone who also thinks that trikes are cool.good luck.

steve Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I think there is a trike builder in Angouleme, opposite Jardiland....or used to be. There are quite a few about.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
