Hi there

When building a VW trike to MSVA spec is it classed as a Motorcycle tricycle or a Tricycle so I build it with the correct brake setup

Thanks

Its a Motorcycle Tricycle if it has a single front wheel and motorcycle type suspension and steering.

So if its one wheel at the front, handlebars and teles, springers, girders etc its a bike trike and can have two separate sevice brake systems like a bike.

If you have the manual the bike trike options are section 16 item 3a and 3e or items 3b, 3c and 3e or item 3d and 3e

Cheers

Chris

Thanks chris,

I have the manual but took the motorcycle tricycle to be a motorbike turned into a trike and anything else to be a tricycle(vw trike, etc) which made me think I had no choice but to go with a linked service brake.

Thanks again for your help
