Formula Tri-Sled Racing Trike

New for 2007, the Formula Tri-Sled model is a versatile, affordable, faired machine perfect for schools on a budget. This model has been based on extensive consultation with teachers involved in HPV programs and encourages schools to involve students and interested volunteers in the assembly of the fairing while ensuring the team has a reliable and competitive vehicle for race day.

Formula Tri-Sled is based around a reworked version of Tri-Sled’s longstanding Fast Back racing trike and includes a computer-cut corflute fairing kit for the team to assemble themselves. The fairing kit is fully recyclable and can be purchased separately when the previous fairing is ready to be retired.

The model’s specially-designed alloy seat enables teams to construct support seats to accommodate different rider heights. The frame is available in both a primary and secondary school size.

Formula Tri-Sled was tested by the Tri-Sled all-girls team at the 2007 EIEP HPV Grand Prix held at Maroondah. The team achieved third place in the community class and eighth place overall, competing against 42 other entrants, including hybrid motor-assisted vehicles. The team’s five riders were competing predominately against all-male teams. Since this race, Formula Tri-Sled vehicles have been raced at both the 2007 Maryborough and 2008 Wonthaggi HPV events with impressive results.

The Formula Tri-Sled Racing Trike features:

  • 16 inch front wheels
  • 20 inch rear wheel
  • Powder-coated 4130 Chromoly frame, roll bars and side intrusion rail
  • 8 or 9 speed transmission
  • Aluminium seat
  • Disc brake front end
  • Roll frame: one roll bar supported at the rear, one leg bar and side rail frame to support body.
  • One computer-cut corflute fairing kit (not assembled)

The corflute fairing kit is available in white, black, blue, red or yellow and can easily accommodate stickers or logos. Two-tone corflute (as pictured) is available on request and is recommended for easier assembly. Tri-Sled can also arrange custom stickers on request for an additional charge.

Formula Tri-Sled is available for purchase without the fairing for schools that wish to purchase the fairing kit at a later date.

The Formula Tri-Sled roll-frame has been specifically designed to support the fairing kit. Owners of other racing vehicles, including the Tri-Sled Fast Back Racing Trike, will need to modify their roll-bars to support the fairing.
