    Mark 3 chariot conversion

    As it has already turned to winter in Scotland, rain and 13 degrees today I have decided on a redesign of the trike. Have approached Paul Lumley and he will do the build over the winter. I have done what I can with the clutch but it looks like I can only get 1200 odd miles. Only thing left to...

    Anyone know where I can get a set of seals for a CSC Hyperpro. My one has given up the ghost. It looks an easy job to overhaul. I am told they want you to send it back to Holland.

    Despite lowering the overall gearing by fitting 245 x40x17 instead of 245x45x17 I have still not got rid of my clutch slip problem. Has anyone fitted an extra driven plate in the clutch pack?

    Rocket3 Roadster Trike - Differential ratio question

    Is there anyone out there who is knowledgeable about the ford sierra diff commonly used in UK trikes built since the Rocket3 was introduced. My problem is I think my trike is pulling too high a gear through the diff. We measured the ratio at 3.125, could possibly have been 3.2. This ratio...

    Jumping out of 4th gear - Gearbox rebuild

    Many thanks to the guy who pointed me at Carl Inkley at Just Rockets , what a star. My 2017 Rocket3 trike started jumping out of 4th gear. Managed to get the summer out of it but by autumn was looking to get the gearbox overhauled. In October I sent the trike down to Paul at Paul Lumley...

    Need some help.I have now done 6500 miles and find oil usage is quite high more than 1 litre per 1000 miles .I bought the 2017 Rocker 3r with 3500 miles .I suspect the first 3500 miles running in were done with a gentle throttle and the rings never bedded in properly . There is no trace of oil...

    Mark2 Chariot Reborn at last!

    Sorry for not posting for so long. COVID, broadband problems. Now all sorted. The Chariot finally went to the weigh bridge last weekend. It clocks in at 480kg. Anything over 450kg has to go to a VOSA testing station for commercial vehicles over 35 hundred weight. Quite a delay in getting a test...

    Chariot rebuild

    Hi Guys, My Mac computer locked me out for about 3 weeks so a quick update on progress. Weather has turned crap here in Scotland so not pushing for an early finish. Paul thinks the end of October but I think that is optimistic. He has made another new mudguard for the front, the 2 rear and front...

    Chariot rebuild

    Latest pics of Trike rebuild, anti roll bar fitted, new front tyre. This is a rear adventure tyre. Should be better as has stiffer side walls and a greater contact patch to improve braking. Still playing with anti roll bar diameter and shock springs :) VIMEO

    Chariot Rebuild

    Hi, guys, Got the ABS tested last Saturday, just at slow speed 10MPH, but it works fine back and front. Only one shock was fitted each side to check for roll. Looks like we might get away with changing only two of the springs, perhaps around 750lbs. Paul is going to consult the manufacturer...

    Trike disaster!!

    Sad to say that the Mark 1 Chariot is no longer. We binned it on the 3rd of June. Total write off, CAT B for the Brits. Ended up upside down in a bog. Oddly enough I survived with chest and neck bruising and Johnny with his neck in a brace for 12 weeks. 2 nights in hospital for both of us! The...
