Tri-Magnum: The Original Prototype

Tri-Magnum, a high-performance three-wheeler capable of over 100 mph, is undoubtedly the most popular homebuilt three-wheel vehicle ever designed. For more information visit: http://www.rqriley.com/tri-mag.html Well over 30,000 plan-sets are in the field, and thousands have been built. At the time, we knew we were creating something special. But we had no idea that it would become such an icon in its field. It is still one of the most popular plan-sets at Robert Q Riley Enterprises, the company owned by the co-owner and President of Quincy-Lynn Enterprises, Inc. when this amazing vehicle was built.

It's also important to acknowledge the other co-owner of Quincy-Lynn Enterprises, Dave Carey, as well as Ron Will, formerly head of New Product Development at Subaru of America. Ron Will's TurboPhantom was the first design based on the idea of a fully-enclosed three-wheeler built around a complete motorcycle chassis, which became the inspiration for Tri-Magnum's chassis layout. During his tenure at Subaru, Ron led the design of the Subaru Outback, as well as many other successful Subaru designs.
