Imagine riding a trike like Big Yella—whenever and wherever you want. It looks incredible, sounds amazing, and handles like a dream. I’ve spent years riding two-wheelers, but there’s something truly unique about riding a trike. It’s an experience that combines comfort, style, and performance in a way that’s unlike anything else. If riding a trike isn’t already on your bucket list, it should be—even if you just hire one for a day.

My name is Phil Parry, and I’m a design draftsman. I engineered and built Big Yella in my spare time in my modest home garage. And here’s the thing: you can too.

The Big Yella Story
 It all started after replacing the engine in my daughter’s 1965 VW Beetle. Left with the old 1200cc engine sitting in my garage, bleeding oil on the floor, I found myself staring at it, pondering its fate. I couldn’t bring myself to scrap it—not this masterpiece of mechanical simplicity, the brainchild of Ferdinand Porsche.

Then it hit me—an epiphany, if you will: “I’ll build a VW trike.”

And so, the journey began.

Using basic tools, hands-on creativity, and my practical guide, I turned that old Beetle engine into a head-turning VW trike—all within my small home garage. If I could do it, so can you.

So, whether you’re a weekend tinkerer or a seasoned builder, this guide makes it simple to create your own Big Yella-inspired ride.
