Ep 2. Monster Trikes

Scrapheap Challenge is back with its ninth season, and this time it promises to be bigger, better, and louder! In this episode, titled Monster Trikes, the teams are tasked with creating three-wheeled beasts that will be put to the test in a series of challenges.

The episode starts with the teams arriving at the Scrapheap yard, where they are met by host Robert Llewellyn and judge Dick Strawbridge. Robert explains that they will need to create a trike that is both fast and reliable, but also capable of handling some extreme challenges.

The teams are given a few hours to scavenge for parts in the Scrapheap yard, and then it's time to get to work. The first challenge is a speed test, where each trike will race down a straight track. The teams quickly discover that building a fast trike is not as easy as it sounds, and some teams run into trouble right away.

Next up is the maneuverability test, which involves navigating an obstacle course. The trikes need to be able to make tight turns and weave through cones without tipping over or getting stuck. This challenge proves to be even more challenging than the speed test, and some teams struggle to get their trikes to handle properly.

The final challenge is the endurance test, where the trikes need to prove that they can handle rough terrain and long distances. The teams are given a course map and a set amount of time to complete the challenge, and it's up to them to figure out the best way to navigate the course.

Throughout the episode, we get to see the teams working together to overcome challenges and solve problems. We also get to see some impressive welding and fabrication work, as the teams turn scrap metal into powerful trikes.

But it's not just about the trikes - there's also plenty of drama and tension between the teams, as they race against the clock and each other. And of course, there's the always entertaining banter between host Robert and judge Dick, who never shy away from poking fun at each other.

In the end, only one team can be crowned the winner of the Monster Trikes challenge. But even the teams who don't come out on top can still take pride in the fact that they built their own impressive trikes from scratch.

Overall, Monster Trikes is a thrilling and action-packed episode of Scrapheap Challenge that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Whether you're a fan of engineering, racing, or just good old-fashioned competition, this episode is sure to satisfy.
