We’ve Seen the Future and It’s the Wrong Way Around. Or Is It? The All-new 2rike With Twin Front Wheels Is Real a Case of ‘Two Right’
When Craven Moses pulled the cover off the new 2rike at his Oakworth, Yorkshire workshop, my head almost broke. I’ve been following the progress of this build over the last few months and to say it’s better than I could have imagined would be a gross understatement. It takes a lot to impress me and I’m here to tell you that I am most mightily impressed.
Both Craven and the trike are a lot smaller than they look in the pictures; I’m a lot bigger than I look from a long way away. The 2rike is a lot lower than I’d anticipated and with Craven has built this trike around him and his preferred positions for the controls. He’s quite a bit shorter than me, so there was never any chance of me ever getting my bulk behind the steering wheel unless I went on a very rapid and intensive diet.
But even with my 100kg frame adding to the load, the 2trike’s performance can only be described as staggering. Strapped into the passenger seat by a four-point harness, the induction howl from the Yamaha R1 engine batters my eardrums over my shoulder. I watch the digital speedo on the dash go from zero to golly in a matter of seconds. With around 420bhp per ton, the 2rike is probably the fastest three-wheeler I’ve ever experienced. Craven used to race hillclimb cars and the one thing he had an eye on throughout the build was weight. Keeping it down to 360kg wet, he’s managed that rather well. 420bhp per ton is supercar territory, folks, and you’d normally be looking in the £60k plus bracket for this sort of performance.
