George Wallis on his 344cc JAP-powered motorcycle

where motorcycles could be made safer and
more appealing to a wider audience, including
those hesitant about the risks of two wheels. In
many ways, the Arie 3 anticipated later
developments in three-wheeled transport, from
commuter vehicles to modern-day trikes.

Though the Arie 3 never achieved mass
production, its influence lingers in the imagination
of motorcycle history. George Wallis
demonstrated that innovation often comes from
those willing to ask *what if?* His work showed
that motorcycling need not be bound by
tradition—it could evolve, adapt, and inspire.

Today, George Wallis stands as a reminder that
the spirit of invention is as important as speed or
power in shaping motorcycling’s legacy. The Arie
3 may not have conquered the market, but it
cemented Wallis’s place as a true visionary—one
who dared to reimagine what a motorcycle could
be.
