Funny little 3 wheeler with stabalizers

[John Wakefield]

According to DVLA its a SZCMA 49cc which was seen in Saffron Walden circa 2006 now on SORN.
Cant find anything on a Google search for SZCMA

Thanks DB, Typo by DVLA. Never seen one on the road and this one has not been MoT tested since 2012. Strange arrangement with the stabilizers, I assume they tip over easily without, but the little tyres will soon wear out,possibly difficult (or expensive) to source. The larger engined 4 wheeler looks a better bet.

John....if you're thinking about getting a tricycle you could always trade the Townmate in for one of these.....a Yamaha Niken 847cc triple, only 13.5k and it doesn't need stabilisers....

[Brian Thompson]

....but if that's too much there's always it's forerunner, the Yamaha Tricity 125, from around 3.8k....even cheaper used....

This would be better comes with a basket as standard

Secma also do (or did do) a 4 wheeler, l found this one (also in Saffron Walden) in 2017 so looks like it maybe with the same owner as the trike version

[Brian Thompson]

Yes John, an awesome machine for sure....but I still think I'd take this instead, mainly because of the colour....

Mind you, I think you're on to something here though....but looks like the Gold (Lead?) Wing Owners Club have beaten you to it.....what a beast! A roof to keep the elements at bay, an executive bidet, light and vanity mirror in the top box, and it even has air vents in the windscreen (and a windscreen wiper!) so you can feel the wind in your face.....cool or what!

Having said all that though, on reflection, if I was in the market for a nice reliable motorcycle with a roof, heater and a radio, and I only had 25 quid to spend, I'd probably just go for one of these.....

Brian.

I suppose these were aimed at the teenager market ride on a moped licence but car comforts, Peel in the IoM made one some years ago, Jeremy Clarkson drove it round TV studios, they are now worth serious money.
