Just looking for insurance for my Ransomes mg, and it got me thinking, if a Trusty ( covered by the club insurance) is operated with a riding bogey, does it still class as pedestrian operated or does it become a ride-on?.
A good question and one that has been asked before. The answer is yes it is still classed as pedestrian operated, same as Barford Atom with trailer etc.
The question has been asked before and the definitive answer is that a two-wheeled Trusty is a pedestrian operated machine. The Bogey Seat is an attachment, in the same light as a plough is an attachment, and it doesn’t alter how the tractor itself is classified for insurance purposes.
In comparison, a Trusty Steed was designed as a ride-on machine and is classified as such.
