Trike Insurance for when Two Wheels become Three!

At Car Insurance Television we pride ourselves in the fact the we have relationships with many varied suppliers who are able to offer the complete range of specialist car insurance covering all vehicles, all modified vehicles and motor insurance covers. We also keep a note of trends and have seen in recent months  a growing number of  bikers adding an extra wheel and becoming Trikers!

Demand for our specialist trike insurance quotes has been quite phenominal so we started to ask questions as to why the sudden increase in demand for trikes? To find the answers we asked Car Insurance Blogger to go along to Casarva, who are the UK’s largest manufacturer of Custom Trikes and Trike Conversion Kits to get us some answers…….

It seems that one of the major reasons for bike / trike conversions is the ease to accomplish and the low cost of the kit. There has been some suggestion that it also has to do with the biker demographic, with an aging biker population.

The custom conversion process from bike to trike is very straightforward and quick to achieve :

Casarva design, fabricate all Bike to Trike parts in house. This means that production quality is controlled and  costs kept down.
