Not a sidecar rig, but it does have 3 wheels.
2013 Morgan 3 wheeler, 120ci S&S max wedge engine.
Motorcycle plates.

they have gotten past the wood frame I hope. That motor will twist a wood frame. Nice ride tho.

Yes, the frame is tubular steel, hand welded, but the hand made body is still formed around wood.

This latest design was done by Pete Larsen, of Liberty Sidecars, he sold it back to Morgan a few years back.

You can still see his version on the Liberty Web page. He called it the ACE.

Now that's a cool ride. I'd sure like to see a video of the Morgan in action.

Nothing but cool, Jay! Please, post all the pics you want!

I've been a sucker for Mogs for about 45 years, since I first saw one. Unfortunately they got priced out of my existence so now only a dream. I was going to build a 2F/1R 3 wheeler before I was given a gift of a Kawasaki KZ1000P-15 Police bike which now will be the basis for a sidecar rig instead. Regardless, I just love those Morgans.

I still have 3 sidecar rigs that I truly love to ride, but I will not ride without boots and jeans on.

I am a diabetic, and am afraid of something hitting my feet or legs.

That is why I choose the Morgan 3 wheeler. I can ride with shorts on, and not worry about hurting my legs.

We can still take our pup with us, where ever we go with the Morgan, or sidecar rigs, and he does not have to be in a crate.

There is a picture of us in the March / April edition of the Sidecarist, on page 18.

This is a great forum for people with or wanting to be involved with Sidecars.

I wish I would have found it years ago, because I would have owned a Sidecar rig, earlier.

Thanks for all your comments.

The ACE Cycle Cars are made by Pete Larsen (Liberty Sidecars) under license from Morgan. They are real beauties but not the most practical all weather machine.

As I stated above Pete does no longer make the Ace.
He sold the rights back to Morgan, a few years ago.

He is a dealer for the Morgans at this time.
