A Category B (car) licence automatically gives you full Category B1 (tricycle and quadricycle) entitlement.
A Category A (motorcycle) licence will also give you full Category B1 entitlement, but ONLY if you passed your Category A test before October 2000, which is when the law was changed.

A trike is weight dependant.
IIRC (based on the no doubt ancient laws I remember), anything over 450kg falls outside of "trike" class.
