Just wondering if this v5 is correct for a hardtail trike?
Thanks

IMHO no...

if it's a trike (as we understand it) with M/C handlebars/forks and ting then it should have been re-registered. It is no longer a "Robin Super"

Well ain't that a bitch. I'm not surprised to be honest. Out of curiosity, what would happen if I continued to use it? It was mot'd before I got it (so has about 7months left) and I'm all insured on it....
I spoke to a sound guy today that was riding a rat reliant trike (original chassis but with, motorcycle forks and bars) and he said his is still registered as a reliant and hasn't had a single problem ever, MOT's I durance etc....

to be fair, most of the chaps I ride with have "reliant" trikes that have never been re-registred with DVLA..  I reckon 99% of them will never have a problem. 

Having previously worked in insurance for years writing the systems that quote/'claim etc, I wouldn't want to be the 1% in the position of having mowed down the proverbial bus queue full of nuns and orphans.

have a look at this - he's got a pic of his V5

If you get pulled over at a vehicle check, or for a traffic violation you run the risk of being prosecuted and the vehicle would almost certainly be siezed and probably destoyed. More importantly, if you have a serious accident the insurance company possibly won't pay up.
Sorry.

Looks like the vehicle above is a trike project with parts from a Reliant kitten I believe and also the V5c from a different vehicle.

Good, I thought I may be wrong!

Here's my V5

Looks ok to me ? Says tricycle and it's on a Q plate ?

99, times out  100  if its on a Q,, its  good  , just dont understand people that say a Q, plate is a problem  at least being on a  Q, means that at some point its been inspected

i would always buy a Q, plated trike  rather than a ,,,robin///realto,// regal,, or ,,,super van ,,  V5,, trike

That all makes sense, yet its mad! You'd think my insurance (bike sure) might of said something when I took the policy out, especially when i had to send them 4 clear pictures of the trike.... (Since it doesn't look like a plastic pig)!!!
 
Also the whole crushing the vehicle if your caught driving/riding, isn't that absolutely barmy? It passed an mot (surely the mot guy would of noticed it wasn't a plastic pig), and especially since the vehicle was insured with photographic evidence, add the fact there's no information anywhere about such things without really digging....??

PM sent.

time  for ,,tin hats ,,,  heres  the mine field again
