Triking

Triking

Triking are the UK based manufacturers of the 3-wheeled Triking Cyclecar. They are located in Marlingford, Norfolk.

Trikings are inspired by the 1930's Morgan 3 wheelers, and are essentially a modernised version of these. They are also in practice a cross between a sports car and a microcar.

Former Lotus employee Tony Divey built the first Triking in the late 1970s in response to being unable to acquire a Morgan.

The original Triking featured a steel spaceframe with an alloy panels and glass-fibre bonnet, and was powered by a Moto Guzzi V-twin motorcycle engine. This proved popular and production eventuated. In 1990 Divey redesigned the Cyclecar with a new tubular front end and a one piece glass-fibre "body".

An employee of Divey's, Alan Layzell, built his own supercharged Triking, giving prodigious performance.

"Telegraph" writer, Andrew English, commented of the Triking driving experience: "The intimacy is both profound, delightful and, for the claustrophobic, disturbing. Everything is so contiguous with the driver; you could have sex at a greater distance than this."
