Threewheeler.       To go -that something other type.

Meanwhile 58,000 km between Baltic Sea and Mediterranean Sea without any breakdown show me that I encountered my characteristic specification yet very well. Only the gasoline pump eimal failed the service.
The 3radl is through indefatigable improvement correct at my Arsch verwachsen. On parking lots, that were large enough and free, I made my running tests. Finally I wanted to know also had to reckon with which reaction I in the emergency.

Out a load behavior came how if a Kart goes on rail........ Well yes, already a little exaggerated.
Of the 64 HP, that pull at the front wheels of the 440 kg vehicle, very well can be lived. That passes then also once for an overtaking of motorcyclist außenrum in the curve on the Alpensträßchen......... In addition good Allltagsreifen 175/60 are totally sufficiently.
And wenns hurries, go lies on the freeway I already once shortly 190 km/h, in about 175-180 km/h one good and certainly practicable trip speed. The Spritverbrauch is extreme dependent on the Gasfuß. I can go thoroughly free with 3,8 Litern/100km. If then simply the horses are needed, it also once 8,5 liters are. Tank volumes tightly 16 liter........
The acceleration corresponds remove at the same time about that of a brisk 500er Enduro, -from 100 km/h I then, because to aerodynamicer.

From the beginning was me clear that in the equipment also this spartan in the entire draft had a place. Does nevertheless one feel himself in the Innenraum (??) probably. On the side of grey PP-carpets, blacker rubber ground, padded Cockpit and a schnuckeliges 28er steering wheel. Everything is problem-free washable, weatherproof and überflutungsgeschützt. Also the seat has a flow. For the rain water. Against the rain on the parking lot, helps a Persenning.
Zigarrettenanzünder and belong also to the equipment to ashtray with magnet. On music, one can renounce. For that worries discreet the little Polo-Töpfchen behind at the tube, tightly 70cm obliquely to the rear under the left ear, -and the trip wind. On longer freeway trips, I have always ear protection stopper in the ears.

The going in the rain is substantially more comfortable like with the motorcycle. A helmet with disk, Barbour and rain pair of pants. That passes also for a trip along through D. Interior nothing becomes wet, as long as one over ca. 50 km/h goes. In the state, a screen stowed larger next to the seat serves than a roof.
Generally the wind is substantially more comfortable like for example in a super Seven. No turbulences that leave one the cheek flattern. Straight of ahead come the mosquito. Like motorcycle. Therefore never without glasses!!

Go parallel to the motorcycle There is not very many. As an old Biker (14 years Guzzi), I appreciate the trip wind and kurvige Bergsträßchen. Only, now I hop in 35 degrees simply in Shorts and T-Shirt into the yellow nozzle and habs quite airy. No warming leather.
And brisk curve without this oblique situation anxiety before the wegrutschen have also sooner what for itself.

In that paper stands under seats: 1 ½. Behind sit it quite comfortably, to be sure is the movement freedom of the feet rather restricted itself. And how I ahead then the Gurt use should, have I also not yet herausgefunden. For a syringe tour well until sufficiently, according to format its/of those on the rear seat. The commentaries of the Notsitz move as a rule between stillem enjoying and enthused Kreischen.
With me behind often the knapsack stands be strapped, at the Reling tent and Schlafsck. HINT: a book protection foil drunter on the Lackierung glue -and it remains unverkratzt.

And then sometimes the public. Always friendlily and often laughing. Above all child. Rarely directly asking. Whisper what of Messerschmitt or so and trust itself not. Sometimes that degenerates thoroughly. On a summery-full freeway parking lot, schonmal comes a feeling on like in the zoo, -on the incorrect page of the lattice.
Only the order hats ask directly. Also details. If the information need is allayed then, it is named: would thank. Good trip!
Also that must be yes on the running...........

To the subject security
Cue as well as Airbag, Knautschzone, or quite ABS, And/or the security feeling that such concepts should mediate, are here automatically into the driver to integrate. Both physically and also mental. Klappt that, stands an unexpected, entirely 3rad-eigenen load joke nothing more in the way.
The Threewheeler has a Überrollbügel and a clean and kalkulierbares load behavior. For the remainder of the security program, the driver is definitive and exclusively even responsible!

I would personally feel in my 3radl expressed me probably and more certainly, than in many a tin can, that has the half Steifigkeit after 100,000 km also only yet tightly.

If one then once again the dear Sunday drivers curve cutting edge meet, it is also once helpful that everything is what must „durch“ permanent in the view field. The front wheels are through, as a rule all is clear...... so what mach once with 'nem trike.....


By multiple request, here therefore also the story stands round around HUDSON/RSA so how I gathered it in the last years as well as a Puzzle. Partly sought, reported partly.
At the same time is naturally never entirely to be excluded that single details are so not entirely correct.
If someone knows any details, that of my representation deviate, please immediatelymailen!
Ron Webb is the Konstukteur of the HUDSON-Spirit. Sometime around 1978/80, it drew this lecherous part round around the at that time current Renault R5. for such a quasi-Monoposto is the torsion rod resilience and the Längsmotor ideal.
HUDSON is named among other things more open, unverkleideter Überrollbügel and the short Kotflügelchen behind. Some very pretty copies are on the pages ofThomas To see.
Moreover here an extensive and pretty site, that of „angefressenen“ is; Hudson-Ownern acts. Thanks to at Stefan for the hint!
Sometime hiked a HUDSON in Munich to the TÜV, got a pattern expert opinion and hated then sometime RSA. Details are to be sure interesting, but I want to do not make this process to the occasion that someone feels stepped herself on the tie.
Features of the RSA are disguised essentially that Überrollbügel and that more fenders swung rear. Other details, like the position the Tankstutzens etc. are perhaps the result of a „Eingebung“ the respective manufacturer. Moreover model changes are usual also in the Standart-AUTOMOBILE-branch.
Manufacturer is in kit-cars of that, that form a unit the Bausatz and brings to the TÜV. The chassis number becomes train part of the TÜV and looks with me for example so: TPSW27G021.
The execution of any details as well as control, exhaust pipe, Innenaustattung, seat (e), lamp, tank etc. is regulated yes by the StVZO. Nevertheless much is doable, -in correspondingly qualified execution. What go and what not, says one then already the expert in TÜV or DEKRA. In arrangement with this is, according to sympathy degree naturally also, astonishingly much possible.
The EU-exception regulation, that the Neuzulassung of a 3rad-KFZ yet enable without catalyst, runs meineswissens until 2005. Until there, the HUDSON- can or RSA-Threewheeler yet newly constructed and allowed become.
The provision with new Eratzteilen of Renault is secured also another couple of year relative. Moreover the technology is burdened by the slight weight also somewhat slighter and correspondingly durable.

If someone has problems with building or allowance, I help gladly, so far possible.
A friend of me has another very favorable brand-new RSA-Bausatz without small parts over....... Therefore ran!

For me is preliminary recess with 3radeln. My new job leads me to Brazil. Open end.
