With a number of 3-wheelers showing up these days... i thought about showcasing a few that i already know of, and maybe some of you might know of other brands. Starting with the Piaggio MP3 then the CanAm Spyder and the Carver One I know there is one other 3wheeler i saw at Welly Batu Caves but i cant remember the brand. Ok.. the CanAm Spyder can get kicked out coz it will not lean lah... but the other 2 look rather interesting. |

Right now in Malaysia there are a number of three wheelers on the road. There are a few Goldwing Trikes and I also know of a Volkswagen powered trike in Kota Damansara. Then there are the factory 'brikes' which are three wheelers with two front and one rear wheel. The Piaggio MP3 is a 250 single cylinder three wheeler available for abour RM 32K. Then there is the Gilera Fuoco, a 500cc single cylinder three wheeler. An owners impression was posted here about a month ago. Do a search and you will find it. Soon the Piaggio MP3 400 will be in the shops probably tagging RM 36 K OTR. The Carver is a three wheel leaning car, powered by a 660 CC motor, a wee bit underpowered in my books. The CanAm is a non starter. Although it looks spectacular, it offers the worst of a bike and a car. It does not lean, hence turning like a car. It is wider than a Kancil so you will end up in the hot sun in a traffic jam, with kapcais whizzing around you. You still get wet in the rain. But I heard its cheap, around RM80K OTR and will be available in Malaysia soon. As for te MP3, I have only tried it around the block, and its a lot of fun although its too slow in my books. The Fuoco, well you can read about it here if you like |

Hi Sherman... i too like the way the Carver moves. :D Hi Mamu... if u click on the links.. u can see the pics. Plenty there :) Hi Nik... Thanks for you input. Yup.. you reminded me of the missing one, the Fuoco. When i saw it with 2 other friends.. they seem to like the stylings of the Fuoco better than the MP3. The CanAm Spyder is a waste of time as proven here in the US. Now they are trying to flog it off in other countries pulak. Aiee... What do you think are the chances of 3-wheelers really taking off in Msia? As it is, due to crazy fuel prices, the Vespa is suddenly becoming a top selling 2-wheeler in the US. It's popularity is knows no age group. But with safety a constant worry for a lot of 'non-bikers'.. will the thought of going on 3wheels be the attraction vs 2 wheels? Will the 3wheelers stay on or are they just a fad? |

:wave: Hi.. I had 'some' experience riding the Goldwing Trike way back in the 2002. This model was based on the Honda Goldwing GL 1500 and had a fixed rear axle with "would you believe it" LEAF SPRINGS. They later came out with independently sprung rear wheels which were more comfortable to ride... but :laugh: still can't lean :salute: Good for the open highways in the US but a little tricky in the humps & bumps of KL and certainly out of the question in Ulu Yam , Genting & Bukit Tinggi guling Posted Image |
