Take into account that we all tend to complain about faults and problems more than about the good side of things. If something is working perfectly you will rarely see somone taking the time to write about it - they are out having too much fun! So what you read here is probably going to be the bad stuff rather than the good stuff.The faults may relate to a very small percentage of the number of trikes on the road, but you may end up being one of the unlucky ones, so question the dealer about any problems mentioned on this website and make sure that they are willing to accept their responsibility and replace/repair any problems before you purchase any vehicle.

If you have good things to say about your trike then please take a few minutes to tell us so that we can add some balance to the pages.

Remember that nothing on this website comes from official sources so please use sense when considering what you see and read.

Changing the Main Jet and Air Filter made no difference to the top speed of the trike. Acceleration was possibly a little better, but that was good before the changes, and the fuel consumption was terrible - around 3/4 of the tank (probably about 1 1/2 gals unmeasured) for a 38 mile run. Compare that to about 60mpg before.

I think that the only way to get more speed out of this system is to do something radical to the CV system. I'm open to any suggestions from anyone who has actually modified their CV system on a 250cc engine on a trike or ATV, and got better that 50mph max. Anyone out there?

The trike is still fun to ride, and cruises really well at 30-50 mph. I would just like to get it up to 60mph, without spending vast sums to get there. Otherwise, I'll continue to enjoy riding it as is.
