Summary[edit]

Description

A Higgins racing trike. in Rochester, Kent. T. Higgins & Son Ltd of 214 Portland Road, South Norwood, London, SE25, were established c.1933 as Higgins Cycles. They were high-class frame builders using 'Quality First' as their motto. The son was F J Higgins. In 1952 Higgins launched a rear-axle differential unit for use on their tricycles, system of driving the rear wheels through one axle only. This could create problems when the 'drive' side of the rear wheels lifted on corners. This would create problems when the 'drive' side of the rear wheels lifted on corners. The Higgins Trike was bronze-welded, with an eccentric bottom bracket to allow for chain adjustment when using fixed-wheel: as the axles are in a fixed position with no other means of adjusting the chain. This model is in regular use: it did a 1013km trip between Penzance and Perth in 2012.
