RE: Tech Details: New Morgan Threewheeler
Discussion
I just looked at the twin tech you referred to www.twintechcars.com it's $65,000?? 
that's not even imported yet.
Engineering looks good but looks pants (IMHO) otherwise. Would prefer Morgans new 3W with the heritage and customer support and existing customer market, at significantly less money any day of the week.

Exactly Boshly, this is not really comparable to the Morgan 3W, more of an Ariel Atom competitor and on both counts it fails (IMHO).Another manufacturer, similar to Triking can be found at www.aerocyclecars.com they also use Moto Guzzi running gear, and bodywork is a combination of aluminium and grp.

Just sorted that out for you, Arthur. 
the Grinnall scorpion is completely different in that it's mid engined. This put a huge amount of mass near the single wheel which has zero roll-resistiance - thats why it falls over. A really dumb engineering solution.
The morgan design puts its engine low inbetween the (2) front wheels, giving excellent role resistance.

Out of idle curiosity, how did you go about ordering one, Morgan doesn't have dealers that I am aware of.
Is there any options, or is it as it comes?
Morgan Dealers here and Morgan Three-Wheeler site here HTH. Is there any options, or is it as it comes?
I understand that the first year's production of 3-wheelers is fully sold out and they are now almost into the second half of the second year with orders. So the waiting list is already some 18-months and rising so if anyone wants one, they need to order now to have a realistic waiting time.
