today I'm going to test ride the harley-davidson trike so
I'm just off to collect it now and I'll be back in 15 minutes
so this is the Holly Davidson free it's the 114 cubic it looks like Davidson any rides
because apart from the controllers being like a motorcycle if you use their motorcycle to turn
this thing is absolutely weird of course you get used to it but at first it feels weird when do
you turn them out you're lean the steering so it's quite disconcerting sort of slow speeds
it's okay but when you're moving on the road at 50 miles an hour and it bends coming up i felt
quite nervous it doesn't feel like it gives you confidence but obviously i'm not used to it so
I'm just thinking if I was going along and someone accelerated I'd be off doing
a [ __ ] bar this isn't a motorbike or drive but you want to go that fast I don't think
when you have the bumps it's kind of unusual kind of does that rather like a motorboat
engine gearbox beautiful very smooth gear changes feels just like a normal holiday
person in that respect and you do forget how wide it is so you can be going along and you
can feel them the bumps of the capsized in the middle of the road so you really
do have to keep yourself in the center of the road be careful with oncoming traffic
including this headlight which isn't actually a headlight it's just chrome
so you've got their headlights either side
in the UK to write one of these you now have to have a full motorcycle license
it's not like the old days where you could ride a trike on a car
license the only exception being if you have a disability license
so we're changing up get you can also obviously change up as usual or you can
kick down with your heel because I sort of connected to the same thing as you can
see it moves ok now this does have a reverse system I wish I'll show you now so let's start
I think hold it now it says reverse on there I see the arm there to make it reverse
you have to hold the button in so
so you would expect it to be a reverse gear but it's actually electric motor so
that weird noise isn't it going wrong it's just the way it is if you look down here we
have a parking brake so obviously if you're on a slope you just put your foot down on that so
it engages and now it won't move anywhere and to disengage press it down and release easy
so if you come around to the back you've got quite a lot of storage in it which
opens sideways oddly doesn't look as much as you thinking is from the size of it
so you've got a passenger footplates as well and these grab rails to cling on for
dear life because I think you'd want to when you go fast now here's the rear seat I'm not
sure what this is but I like the feel of it there's no doubt that it's quite style it's
only ten states because it's just just because it's a trike or because it actually looks good
