In the ever-evolving landscape of automotive subcultures, few niches have garnered as much dedicated, almost obsessive, fandom as the world of performance trikes. And at the very center of that world—sitting on a throne of custom chrome, high-tensile steel, and bespoke engineering—is the elusive figure known simply as Josey. For years, enthusiasts have chased rumors, dissected grainy forum photos, and debated build specs. Now, for the first time, we present an TrikePatrol Josey Exclusive : an unfiltered deep dive into the builds, the philosophy, and the future of one of the most secretive builders in the industry. Who Is Josey? The Myth Behind the Handlebar To understand the gravity of this TrikePatrol Josey Exclusive , you first have to understand the legend. Josey isn’t a YouTuber. She isn’t a sponsored influencer. By trade, she is a former aerospace welder who disappeared from the commercial sector five years ago to focus exclusively on custom trike fabrication. Her anonymity is legendary; she communicates through a single ProtonMail address and an anonymous Instagram burner account with no profile picture.
"Delta trikes (one front, two rear) want to kill you. Under hard braking, the rear end lifts. Under cornering, you lift an inside wheel. My reverse trike setup? It plants. It hooks. It stops. I designed the double-wishbone front suspension using stress calculations from F-16 landing gear. That’s not a brag. That’s survival." trikepatrol josey exclusive

I don’t want to explain. I want to build. So no. No production. But..." she paused, looking down the desert straightaway, "...I might be open to a live build event. One weekend. One trike. You bring the cameras. I’ll bring the fire."
"Loud sells parts. Silence sells craftsmanship. Every other builder is trying to get you to look at their paint. I want you to feel the geometry. If you know, you know." For now, the trike community will have to
Her builds—characterized by asymmetrical wheelbases, reverse-triking geometry, and a signature "broken spine" exhaust note—have become the holy grail for collectors. A Josey build doesn’t appear at auction; it finds you. TrikePatrol has been the leading watchdog and evangelist for three-wheeled vehicles since 2018. We document everything from vintage Honda ATCs to Polaris Slingshots. But a TrikePatrol Josey Exclusive has been the "white whale" of our editorial calendar for three years.
Why? Because Josey refuses to scale. She refuses to patent her designs. She is the punk rock of the automotive world—untamed, analog, and ferociously independent. Bookmark this TrikePatrol Josey Exclusive page
During our exclusive, a rival builder’s scout was spotted trying to photograph the underside of her new "Spectre" model. Josey’s response was immediate. She pulled a tarp over the trike, walked to the scout’s rental car, and left a single business card on the windshield. On it was written: "Nice try. Next time, bring a welder, not a camera." As our TrikePatrol Josey Exclusive draws to a close, we asked the question everyone wants answered: Will there ever be a production model?
