I’ve traveled many times as child in a 3 wheeler, never driven one though, with the current climate of excessive prices for fuel including electricity, cars like this will be a viable option, these cars in their day were affordable and low cost family transport, my late grandad and late Dad loved these cars.
You're just as lucky as my son to ride in a 3 wheeler as a child:) the first Reliant Robin was actually made during a fuel crisis, so given that and your points, it's indeed a viable option:)
Everybody never go by Top Gear On how stable reliant robins are if They were that unsafe and unstable they would’ve never been allowed to have been sold but the lesson kids drive With three wheels safely, not like a maniac that’s the code
It does feel quite odd at first because although it corners like a 4 wheeler and grips well, you can feel that it has 3 wheels when going over pot holes and speedbumps. It's almost as if the car suddenly gains a fourth wheel when you turn. But it's very fun:)
Also if you can join the Reliant owners club first and try to look in depth mechanically wise. You will need to do work on it eventually. It's a simple car though.
That’s if you turn the steering wheel to full lock going really fast then it will turn over but the older robins were know for tipping but the rialto had different bodywork so it didn’t Tip over easy Top Gear Rigged that reliant in that episode so they don’t tip over as easy as they made out they do of course they’re not the most stable car in the world, but you Can Tip a car with four wheels over as well so when you drive a fourwheeled car, you’re not completely exempt from tipping it over unless you’re going crazy speeds round the corner and driving like a maniac A bit of advice here don’t drive like a maniac in a reliant robin that’s the code
My dad editted this video. I told him it was a bad idea and he still uploaded it. I editted the full version myself to prove him wrong. I agree with you.
