September 23, 2019: 1985 Triking Cyclecar, Calgary

The Triking is a two-seat, open cockpit, sports vehicle similar to the 1930s Morgan 3 wheelers. It was founded by a former Lotus employee, Tony Divey, who built the first Triking in the late 1970s. It’s sort of a cross between a sports car and microcar.

The car features a steel frame with alloy panels and a fiberglass chasis. The air-cooled engine is a twin cycle Moto Guzzi motorcycle engine. It is a rear-wheel drive design. .It’s available fully built and ready to drive, or in kit form for self build.

This one was spotted in Calgary.
