I think if someone on here has one they would have posted their experience with it and give a thumbs up or down. So the only other source would be to google for them and see if someone got one of them and wrote a review. Lefty

An MP3 you ride it like it was a two wheeler you lean to make turns, the Can-Ams and this Reverse Trike there is no leaning you steer like a car as with your Trikes with the two wheels on the back, Poors man Can-Am whatabe. Lefty I will have to correct you on this. I bought this trike for my sister and it does lean at turns to a 45 degree angle. She has gone up to 55mph without any problems after the wheels were balanced. This bike is lots of fun!!! I bought it at Supersportz.com and it came fully assembled to my home.

Ah you have one of those what they call Reverse Trikes, yes I stand corrected those you do have to lean and the front wheels do angle left and right to turn. Glad it is running good for you guys, most are having a hell of a time with the front end on them and cannot take them up to speed. Lefty

Just so everyone knows. I bought this scooter for myself but it was too big for me (i am only 4'11") and i can not reach the ground, so i gave it to my sister! She loves it!!!! It does tilt at turns and rides very smooth. She has gone up to 55mph with no problems after my mechanic balanced the wheels. She is enjoying every mile on it, so i ordered the smaller 50cc version for me. If you want one order it from Supersportz.com, it will come fully assembled to your door, they are the best online company i have dealt with. Cant wait to get my 50cc!

That is great and very nice of you to give it to you sister and getting yourself a smaller one. Did you first check the height of the seat on the 50cc? Hopefull the seating is lower because most have just about the same clearance from the frame to the ground.
Let us know how the 50cc fits you hope it is RIGHT ON for you. Lefty

Lefty yes sir, that is where i went wrong on the size. All specs online are totally incorrect! I had Tom at Supersportz.com measure it for me. I will for sure post a video of it on here.

I was hoping someone on here had the 50cc that can give some info on it. just so you know...i always look for you on here.

I have one of them - Sunny 150TKA. The OEM tires were garbage. I ended up putting a set of Continental Zippy 1s on mine, and it is great for the money. Underpowered, but when I got mine ironed out, it does a fine job. I looked at and rode the MP3, but could not afford it. Knowing what I was getting, I am pleased with this one. youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy7ZJIW-VrI&feature=pyv

The rear tire was badly out-of-round, and one of the fronts started to separate almost immediately - it turned out to have been unevenly cured side-to-side. Very poor. The other thing was a bad fuel pump out of the box, but the dealer shipped me a replacement same day. I expected to have to tighten everything, so that was not a surprise. The bike is over-sized for a 150, and underpowered, and I had to do a couple changes to my prosthetic feet to be able to foot the thing properly at stops. I am going to do some measurements and see if I can safely lower the thing about two inches. I would really like to see the 150cc mill in the 50cc trike to see how that would do! ;D

Im lucky i didnt have many problems other than dirty carbureter and the fact that the specs are totally wrong so therfore i bought a bike i cannot ride (im only 4'11")so i gave it to my sister. Now, i'm waiting for the 50cc version to arrive. Where did you buy the tires?

motorcycle-superstore.com - I get all my scooter tires from them. I prefer the Continental, but season to taste for yourself. I rarely have balance problems with them. At the same time, not looking forward to the oncoming fall/winter, I got a new set of clear snap-on face shields; I carry one on each scoot. This next spring, I plan to go "Dark Side" with my Silver Wing; a number of folks on the forums have been using the Sumitomo 165/70-13, and are loving it. The Elite 250 and the trike will stay with scooter tires...

I think it was Stewali that in another thread said he had the best ride with the front shocks in the stiffest position. I think he meant that it helped the handling and made the leaning more predictable. He liked the rear shock one notch below the stiffest setting.

savvy, Did you get one? I am 71 and love the idea of a reverse trike, but have found nothing but problems on the net. How is it working out for you?

oldfolkcruiser, No not yet. I don't like what happened to Sarge707- scary at my age! I'm still following all these threads about this trike... may just go with the 50cc version and mod it to my needs... more up hill speed, and maybe a BBK. I'm waiting to hear what dayseedee says about the 50cc he ordered. Hope it doesn't have the same negatives as the 150cc. What about you? Savy

Why not buy a Trike with the Wheels on the back? You do not have to worry about leaning to make turns just like sitting in your TV room watching a flick. Lefty

Lefty Hi Lefty, i got my trike today and it fits me very well. I can reach the ground with my tiptoes but it is smaller and not so heavy like the 150. I drove it around the neighborhood and it drives very smooth and stable. I will make a a video of it tomorrow.
