TriLeene

Home: California, United States

TriLeene is a collaboration between Elien the Pearl Peacock and Grizz the Trimule—the perfect combination of brilliant programable LED tail feathers on a nimble three-wheel base with comfy seating for three. The vehicle chassis is constructed from 1-1/2" and 2" tubular frames. It is powered by a 10 hp Tecumseh TVXL220 motor with Zt3100 hydrostatic transmissions driving the front axle. A third swivel caster behind the front axle provides maneuverability and stability.
