The tricycle banned by the police - does 110 km/h .
It may seem a little strange that my archive also contains a copy of the magazine Lektyr no. 27 from 1973. Yes, but it did and I'm glad for that.
Here I found the explanation for the otherwise anonymous image I found archived in the Mopeds folder. I was looking for 50s mopeds but couldn't resist letting this image go online in the image archive.
It's Conny Rönn's moped creation. A three-wheeled moped that he built himself using parts from other mopeds with a 9.3 horsepower engine.
The moped was, for obvious reasons, not allowed to be driven on public roads; it was simply too extreme and far from a normal teenage moped.
However, Conny had success when he exhibited it at the then Swedish Hot Rod Show where he won the moped class three years in a row.
I'm including the article and it's a fun and quirky read, signed by current crime novelist Dag Öhrlund.
Moped historian, author and journalist Claes Johansson, who has seen the pictures, has provided me with his report published in Moped no. 1 2020 but which tells about the successor.
It is Mats Lindström's awesome three-wheeled moped that he actually built himself, inspired by Conny Rönn's creation from 1973.
The article states that both Conny's and Mats' tricycles were purchased by the motorcycle shop Autosport, but of these show builds, only Mats' remains.
