History of the Cycle Car...

A British invention intended to beat the road tax and provide inexpensive transportation, the cycle-car (or 'trike' as the Brits term it) consisted of two steered wheels ahead with a driven rear wheel. Cycle-cars were typically powered by narrow angle, long stroke v-twins borrowed from motorcycles of the day, principally J.A.P. & Matchless. Several manufacturers built Cycle-cars between the teens and early fifties - most notable was the Morgan three wheeler.

History of the ACE cycle car...

After frustrating attempts to import a British built, Moto Guzzi powered cycle-car kit, I decided to use my knowledge of vehicle design and manufacturing to create an Americanized version of the classic cycle-car. This would be inspired by a 1930's Morgan Super Sport but powered by a Harley-Davidson engine and modern running gear. This seemed to dovetail nicely with our production of the Liberty Sidecar for Harley's. This project is called American Cycle-car Endeavor: ACE

Press Releases:

September 2006

The ACE took shape in the R&D room of Liberty Sidecars over a four year period and was first driven in 2005. After a year testing and few revisions, the ACE Cycle-car is now ready for production.

Where's the bling?

The ACE pictured here in our prototype, on test for 18 months, sporting only raw steel and fiberglass.....the red and white? Latex house paint! Regardless, people flock to the Ace and now that the mechanicals have been perfected; I promise the future machines to roll out of our shops will glitter like jewelry!
