You can have reverse gear, that was dropped in the 70s, you can only have qualified license holders on the back though. You need to ask for B1 to be included on your provisional when you apply.

I knicked this from another site, looks like it might be the info you need.
Hope it helps you. :)


This 'classification' also effects the driving licence requirements i.e.

A trike with a mass of 450kg or below, can be ridden ‘solo’ on a provisional licence, however ‘L’ plates must be displayed, and the trike must have only one seat; the rider's seat.

A trike with a mass above 450kg can also be ridden on a provisional licence, but the rider must be accompanied by a qualified licence holder at all times and ‘L’ plates must be displayed.

(Note, If the trike is 450kg or below, your trike can have an extra seat(s) fitted, however if fitted, you must carry a qualified licence holder with you at all times and ‘L’ plates must be displayed)

The Full licence group is B, and the entitlement is B1.
