Welcome to Planet Engineering Ltd.

Planet manufacture and supply the Ellipse sporting cycle-car built around Harley-esque motorcycle engines, bringing the 3 wheeled driving experience into the 21st century!

The new Ellipse, brings you a true driving experience that is guaranteed to satisfy those searching for that little bit extra!  All the fun of a Harley - with greater comfort and weather protection.  Superbly responsive and with serious performance from our current 96-cubic inch S&S v-twin in a vehicle weighing less than 850 lbs, the Ellipse will leave you with a grin that takes a while to fade!

The Ellipse is available as a turn-key new vehicle with new UK registration and unlike any other similar type of vehicle currently on the market, features all new parts, not relying on a donor vehicle.  The Ellipse is registered and taxed in the UK as a motorcycle, so only £66 a year currently!

The Black Beast pictured is the first production model, with modified round tubular front chassis, much sexier than the yellow prototype's box section - we feel.

Our aim is to take the thrill and enjoyment of the Morgan-esque driving experience into the 21st Century.  Starting from the compact shape of the traditional Morgan and various subsequent replicas through the 60's and 70's, we have designed a re-bodied and up-dated vehicle with exceptional handling and road-holding qualities.  Power from the 95 bhp S&S v-twin is more than adequate giving a projected 0 to 60 time of around 6.5 seconds, and a top speed in excess of 125 mph.  Using unequal length front wishbones we have stuck with tried and proven basic geometry for this type of vehicle to give exceptional handling and stability .
 

PLEASE NOTE
This is our temporary website.  Since the prototype has been on the road, demand for some information has been intense. The Ellipse will start at a retail price of approx £23,500, plus VAT for the basic model with windshields, vinyl interior and dash.  Options including leather interior, full windscreens, wipers, variations to exhaust, roll-over bar Etc will be available at costs to be quoted.  Hopefully you will find any information required here.  Please refer to Contact Information for further enquiries.
