"Road Rocket" Created by Tim Cotterill - - 30 Years Old Design Got Life Through Blastolene Brothers

Ingenuity knows no bondage and sky is the only limit. This suits no better than a Britisher who is burning the Los Angeles streets with his self made unique trike. The proud man is Tim Cotterill, 60, who’s created a 200mph monster trike that he named as Road Rocket. Powering this three wheeler vehicle is a 1000bhp Hemi engine usually found in powerful American dragsters. The three-wheeler is too fast and to hack its speed down, the vehicle incorporates a built-in parachute.


Though the design was sketched by Tim 30 years ago, but the work started on it in 2006 and his hand-drawn design was brought to life this year by the specialist bike makers, the Blastolene Brothers. This trike is five meter-long, weights 1225kg and has wide handlebars that took engineers 23 attempts to come up with a steering mechanism that worked for it. Herculean efforts put in by Tim and engineers finally paid and what an amazing creation they’ve come up with.
