A reader was asking me about modern three wheelers the other day, rather than traditional Morgan M3W, Triking or Pembleton V-Sport types.

Obviously, the Grinnall Scorpion has to be a consideration and it’s one of my favourite kitcars of all time, regardless of how many wheels it’s got.

However, another corker is the tR1ke from Exo Sports cars, which is a storming thing. I remember getting seriously told off by Blyton Park boss, Richard Usher once because I was going so fast at the Lincolnshire track.

Not because of my speed or for me driving dangerously, but rather because I overtook him on the back straight in what he was driving and literally blew him into the weeds! All I remember is that I decided to avoid Richard’s impromptu chicanes he’d cones off for the day and planted the throttle.

I saw 160mph for a few seconds and by crikey was that drive exhilarating. The Yamaha R1 engine is a superb partner for the lightweight Exo kit. A Suzuki Hayabusa-powered version promises even more performance!

If you like your thrills bike-powered and want huge excitement, then the tR1ke could be just right for you. Kit packages start at £3995 with turnkey versions from a fiver under 14K.
