Marotti Trike

The Marotti is a radically styled trike developed in Poland. The design took inspiration from fighter jets giving it a rather extreme appearance which will probably not be to everyone's taste - but at least it's unique. The two vertical fins at the back of the Marotti are not just for show however, they are in fact constructed from heavy duty steel and designed to act as rollover protection in the event of a crash.Powering the single-seat Marotti is a rear-mounted 750 cc V4 engine from Honda which produces 100 horsepower @ 11,000 rpm. In a vehicle weighing just 440 kgs (970 lbs) it should provide more than adequate straight line performance. The transmission consists of 6 sequential forward gears and an electric powered reverse gear.The chassis of the Marotti trike consists of a box section steel spaceframe running the entire length of the vehicle. The swingarm for the rear suspension is a custom made unit sized to fit the 17 inch rear wheel wrapped in a 275/45R17 tire.
