Released in 1970 by Ariels then parent company BSA, the Ariel 3 is a three wheel moped with automatic transmission and a novel hingeing system whereby the front could be leant like a conventional two-wheeler (The design was licensed from George Wallis, of G.L.Wallis & Son, who had patented it in 1966)., while the back part, containing the engine & transmission unit, sat squarely on the road on its pair of wheels. All wheels are of 12 inch diameter.
The engine was a 50cc fan cooled single cylinder two-stroke made by the Dutch Anker company fitted with a plate type automatic clutch driving a pulley for a toothed belt driving the near side rear wheel.
The Ariel-3 had to be pedalled to start the engine, like many mopeds of the day with that type of automatic clutch. The decompressor which was linked to the twistgrip was used at this stage by rolling the twistgrip back past the tickover/neutral point against spring pressure, this also being the way the engine was stopped. The rider then pedalled away and as soon as the drive took up and spun the engine the twistgrip was opened, the left thumb operated choke lever was pressed and all being well the engine would fire straight away. The choke could then be released almost immediately.
