We love the Morgan 3 Wheeler. It snugly fits two, it’s noisy, there are no cup holders, there is no glovebox, no roof, and you have to drive with one arm hanging outside of the doorless torpedo body in order to use the steering rack to it’s full potential. Needless to say, the handmade retro British cycle-car isn’t the most practical mode of transportation, but we don’t care.
We don’t care because the Morgan 3 Wheeler is baked with the most splendid ingredient of them all: pure fun. Its dismissal of rationale and practicality is overcome by pure driving pleasure. It proves that even when you grow up, you don’t have to give up being a kid. We suppose, then, it’s quite fitting Morgan downsized its latest high voltage EV3 model trike for the next generation of petrolheads.
Like the adult-sized EV3, the Morgan EV3 Junior is an all-electric 3 Wheeler that’s been scaled down for ages 6 and up—though, admittedly Morgan didn’t specify a weight limit so by all means be our guest, adults.
Also like the full-size versions, the EV3 Junior is coach-built with a full carbon fiber body featuring a hand stitched quilted cabin suited for one. The wood dashboard features a single drive gauge and leather wrapped three-spoke steering wheel.
Standard paint colors offered include Sport Red, Sport Green, or Sport Ivory, with either black or tan leather interior, but for an additional cost Morgan will paint the Junior to your dapper child’s exact specification. Sticker packages are also available for further personalization.
A full charge takes approximately 4 hours and yields an estimated 10 miles worth of drive time, depending on your kiddo’s lead foot. Top speed is limited to 16 kph (~10 mph) and a 12-month warranty is included along with an operating handbook.
Available for £6,662.50 (plus value-added tax) this sort of class doesn’t come inexpensively, but we can’t help but think it’s worth it. After all, isn’t seeing your youngster become a petrolhead priceless?
EINE REISE NACH SCHOTTLANDPorsche 356 A Bj. 1959 - sehr guter Zustand, für Rennen aufgebaut!Anzeige gefunden, sofort in das Auto verliebt - Anbieter Border Reivers?? Wo- Schottland?? Also, einen Flug gebucht nach Edinburgh und kurzer Hand auf die Insel geflogen.Ganz idyllisch ein Stück hinter Glasgow an einem See gelegen hat sich die Firma "Border Reivers" versteckt und auf hochwertige Autos spezialisiert.Der Inhaber - Tom Fitzsimmons ist mehr als freundlich uns hilfsbereit und versucht seinen Kunden fast jeden Wunsch von den Augen abzulesen, hat uns spät nachts noch zum Essen ausgeführt und kurz vor Mitternacht nach zurück nach Glasgow gefahren. Wir konnten in einer blitzsauberen Halle das Objekt der Begierde in aller Ruhe inspizieren (und alle anderen Auto's auch noch) und durften danach eine Probefahrt durch die Highlands absolvieren.Sämtliche Sonderwünsche und Umbauten wurden durch Border Reivers noch erledigt und gegen Entgelt wurde der Wagen noch bis vor die Haustüre in Deutschland geliefert. Ein wirklich perfekter und freundlicher Service der nicht selbstverständlich ist.Many thanks Tom, it was great to make business with you!Thomas Eder aus Bayern

As per the add, I fell in love with the car which was offered by Border Reivers, So a flight booked flown to Scotland. Quite a bit away from idyllic Glasgow situated on a lake,is where the company "Border Reivers" hides and specializes in high quality cars. The owner - Tom Fitzsimmons is more than friendly to us and very helpful. Caters to his customers every whim. He gave us late night run to Glasgow for a meat, shortly before midnight after back after it. We were in a spotless showroom, full of the objects of desire. He gave us peace to inspect and allowed us to undergo a test drive through the highlands afterwards. We agreed the purchase and some special requests and modifications to be carried out which were done by Border Reivers. We paid for the car and it was delivered to our doorstep in Munich, Germany in a covered transporter. A truly perfect and friendly service which is not self-evident. Many thanks Tom, it was great to do business with you!ThomasEder aus BayernThomas Eder Racing his Porsche at the Nurburgring
