Start price: £100

Estimated price: £150 - £200

Buyer's Premium:

This custom-built, articulated motorised off-road trike is constructed with a two-part steel frame joined by a central pivot point. The exterior is finished in forest green paintwork with unpainted aluminium mudguards. Power is provided by a rear-mounted, small-capacity single-cylinder petrol engine, which delivers drive to a solid rear axle through a chain system. The vehicle is equipped with knobby off-road tyres, including Kenda and Maxxis Scorpion brands. It features a padded black vinyl seat with a backrest, a front-mounted wire basket, and a front twin-shock coil-over suspension system. A cylindrical fuel tank is mounted to the rear of the seat assembly. The trike is operated via handlebar-mounted controls. No VIN, registration marks, or manufacturer identification plates were observed during inspection.


Condition report:

The vehicle exhibits signs of utilitarian construction and regular use. There is visible surface oxidation across the steel frame, mechanical components, and suspension springs. The forest green finish and aluminium mudguards show general wear, surface marking, and light scratches consistent with off-road use. The vinyl seat remains intact. Tyres show signs of use but retain tread. Mechanical functionality is untested. The odometer reading was not visible during inspection; therefore, the mileage is unverified.
