Rewaco GT: Grand Touring With A ‘Quirk'

We explore the beauty of the Italian Alps on one of the most loaded trikes we have ridden yet, the Rewaco GT.

TRAVELLING around the world has its own perks. And if you are an automotive enthusiast, the perks always come with a +1. The +1 here refers to vehicles. For us, at xBhp, it’s mostly motorcycles. We have ridden so many now that it’s almost scary to think that we may just run out of them. Then there are cars. Supercars, to be precise. We have ridden our fair share of those too. But every once in a while, one comes across something of a crossover between the two. A hybrid of sorts. We call these contraptions ‘Trikes’ and we came across a very very quirky one. The Rewaco GT and what better place to run around on something like this than the Italian Alps!

We encountered the Rewaco GT during our recent trip to Italy and while it was every bit as confusing to us as it is to you, the allure of it was such that we could not resist swinging a leg over it. And such was the amazement and excitement of piloting something like this, that we dashed straight to the beautiful Italian Alps. But before we talk more about the Rewaco GT. Let’s talk Rewaco.

Rewaco Trikes was founded in Germany in 1990 and has been in operation since. Initially, they worked with the classic Volkswagen and RevTech rear-mounted engines. But that was just a start. Since then, Rewaco has been working continuously to make their vehicles quicker, smoother and safer.

As of now, Rewaco has 3 models available in its stable; LS, ST, and GT. One of the best things about Rewaco Trikes is the customization options available at one’s disposal. Sound system, heated seats, trailer tow package, back up assistance, and whatnot.
