Who doesn't love a three-wheeler? morganmotor is back with its Super 3 - and we've driven it. The latest trike retains the classic appeal of its earlier model, but can it create a new character all of its own? Our review, here:
The new trike has flair to spare. It’s also clever. It’s a true monocoque, as many components as possible have been given more than one job, there’s no ash frame beneath the stressed aluminium body panels and it even features Morgan’s first patented item in its 112-year history .
There’s more. The blocky side panels adjacent divert air to the radiators and act as mounting points for the vast array of luggage you can now specify . They’re flat because if they were shaped, the front wheels couldn’t turn as far. The old 3 Wheeler had a terrible turning circle. Unlike an engine you would see on a Harley-Davidson, it’s not very pretty, so it goes behind and under an engine cowl. It’s still mated to a Mazda MX-5 manual gearbox and drives the rear wheel via a belt, as the V-twin did, but there’s no longer a need for a torque damper between the engine and the gearbox, because the torque output is less lumpy.
Inside, everything is rated to IP64 levels of waterproofness. You will give up before it does. The seat fabric of our test trike is motorcycle-grade vinyl, although other fabrics are optional. You can rest your feet on bent aluminium supports so you needn’t tread on the seat and get that filthy as you lower yourself down.
. The pedal weights are spot on and the unassisted steering is direct, linear and the right sort of speed, at 2.5 turns between locks. The engine has a lovely, predictable response. There’s strong pull from low revs, and at 635kg, there’s little inertia to overcome. And although it will rev to 7000rpm, you needn’t go anywhere near the redline.
