About Us

Founder and designer, Deon Slabbert, started this journey over 50 years ago, with the first Sport Trike being built in 1972. Since then, he’s built countless more trikes, as well as help build a community behind them.

The Sport Trike has a built weight of approximately 350 kilograms, making it one of the lightest trikes around. It sports an overall geometry that gives it go-kart type handling capabilities. A question that is often raised is, “why not put the engine in the front like regular two wheeled motorcycles and some other trike designs?” The answer to this question lies in the designs of rear engined Porsches and Beetles. Beetles were used very successfully in gymkhanas and rally cross events, all assisted by the fact that the engine is mounted in the rear. The same mechanics are present in rear engine mounted race cars, which provide a lot of power and traction to the back wheels, allowing them quicker acceleration and better handling.

If you are looking for handling, speed, comfort, sound, look and feel that all turn heads, you have come to the right place.

The first trike, built by designer, Deon Slabbert, is still running today.

HEAR OUR ROAR

The roar of a wide open throttle, the growl of the engine, the exhaust notes singing. The sound of your machine should turn heads. Whether it’s the gears shifting, the tire-pavement interactions, the engine noise, body vibrations, or maybe even some familiar rattling; these are the sounds that have entertained enthusiasts since the first petrol heads.

We aim to be no different. Our trikes stun onlookers in more ways than one.
