Whether it’s the V-Lite with the F2T wing or the T-Lite with the higher performance Core wing it would be difficult to find a better handling trike. Both machines powered either by the Polini two stoke or the Bailey four stoke engine are a dream to fly. They are also good fun to soar with the engine off in thermal lift.

Famous Australian aviator and avid microlight pilot Dick Smith has been on our case to build him an electric powered V-Lite. We have slowly been researching the viability of the project and you may well see an electric version in 2013.

    This was on the Airborne website, if they do indeed build an electric trike, you know that would be one hell of a trike. I am very excited about the prospect :)

    That would be awesome.  I've been wanting an electric trike for a long long time.
