Motor Tricycle

[Nishan.dj]

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know a place where I can visit and buy a good Motor Tricycle around Colombo?

Thanks for replying.

Motor tricycle? Like a three-wheeler? Or a trike?

[Nishan.dj]

Trike or could be the motor bike with side car. Something like a below one;

I already have a motorbike, and may be a sidecar can be fixed to the one I have?

And what license grade I should fall in to ride this thing on road?

I looked few places and never found even any clue where I can find one. Appreciate your help.

Thanks.

There's a chance that you will be able to find a sidecar stashed somewhere in a small shop in Kurunegala or Negombo if you go looking.

I'd also check with Ceylon International Motor Company (Lal uncle's place in Madiwela). But I think you will have better luck fabricating one.

Rhamzi Ahmed also built a a trike a while back using a Hayabusa, some parts off of a Ford Focus and custom fiberglass work.

That trike was some serious stuff... It maybe beyond the everyday newbie's capability to do a DIY trike with a hayabusa engine (financially and technologically).

That's definitely true. Just wanted to point out that that sort of a job was pulled off locally. For Nishan's purposes, I would imagine it's not entirely out of reach to build a sidecar with a little bit of help from a steel fabricator.

Hellow thought to bump this post up, what is the legal side of the sidecar? Haha! I'm thinking of writing to the vehicle examiner get to know what is actually the legal thing, what you guys think?

Are you allowed to run a 3 wheeler with a learners licence with L boards
