Folding cover for Triking

Morning, I'm looking into buying a Triking, but don't have any under cover storage. I wonder if any other owners have used or could recommend a canvas folding pram type cover that would fit the small size required. Thanks Simon Costin

Nigel Norton used to keep his under a folding garage [pram hood type] in his front garden. There are several but the main issue is holding them down. Solve that and you are away.
Triking:
Overall length 3.1 metres
Overall width 1.5 metres [depending on suspension choice]
Overall height 1 metre
Wheelbase 2.25 metres
Weight 360 kilograms

I (wife actually) made a simple cover from two “king’ fitted sheets…sketch here:

No reason why one couldnt be easily made from two (ahem) moisture resistant fitted sheets.

Not sure where you are in Beds, but just over the border in Rushden are Cover Systems. They do readymade and bespoke covers which although of a lighter material than I was expecting, work well and are durable. I think they also offer a pram hood type cover for larger bikes which may fit a Triking (after all, they're slightly smaller than a Goldwing), probably worth calling them for a chat.

Cheers for the reply Throwley, have already spoken to them, helpful guy, but unfortunately they stopped manufacturing the pram type folding cover at the beginning of the pandemic, and not planning any production until next year, he was saying they want to change the framework. Contacted Triking, they can supply a 'pullover ' shower proof type cover
