    You never knew about Reliant Robin before? Do you live under a rock without internet or what?

    I think this is best Reliant Robin clip, it has only been there for 10 years so probably everyone knows about it, but it still shows how safe those are:

    I bet a mod for that would be really simple! Love the Robin

    Sadly that conclusion has been based on a video where they added weight to purposely make it roll.

    reliant isn't really the 'real world' pigeon, but there are many, like the Piaggio

    The reliant looks the most like a average beamng drive pigeon

    But the reliant isn't a Pick-up truck... They are far to be close.

    The Reliant is massive compared to the Pigeon. The Pigeon is a pickup, the Reliant is a hatchback. The Pigeon is japanese, the Reliant is British.

    I'm genuinely curious how, after seeing several posts featuring small japanese pickups you came to the conclusion that the Reliant is closest to the Pigeon

    I do believe that the Reliant Robin has had some influence on the Pigeon.

    1: Both are named after birds.

    2: The Robin may have inspired the Pigeon's front end. IMO, there's something about them that looks similar. I think what's worthy of highlighting, is the layout of the headlights and front indicators. I've also seen several Robins with bumpers with a design similar to the Pigeon's.


    3: Look at this old photo of the Pigeon's development. A majority of Reliant Robins I've seen had that exact taillight design, including the one Jeremy Clarkson rolled.


    4: Here's a little something, if you type in Ibishu Pigeon on Google Images, guess who's at the top for other searches?

    I agree that they're not 100% alike, but I do believe that they share some similarities. Perhaps Gabester was inspired by the Robin, and therefore used some ideas from it on the Pigeon.

    Its because people who don't know much about cars just call any 3 wheel vehicle a reliant robin...

    They also think they fall over all the time, which is also non sense, no more unstable than a trike.
