I've had mine since early July. I paid extra for Sunny to fully assemble the trike. When I first rode it I had a bad wobble from the front tires. I found the bolts in the front suspension were loose. I also found the lugnuts were only hand tight. After about 3 weeks of
ride her legally on the road the trike quit running. Sunny sent a wrong CDI box and then sent a ignition coil with a very short spark plug wire trying to fix the issue. Turns out the ignition coil was the problem. But I was barely able to use the coil due to the spark plug wire being so short. The trike was broke down for a month. I was only able to get my speed up to 59mph. So that was another issue I was trying to figure out. I started getting a wobble again from the front tires when I would slow down or when driving around 20mph. The wobble got more consistent. Upon looking over the trike I found the rear tire was out of round. So I ordered a new rear tire. While waiting for the new rear tire to arrive I aligned the front end per instructions from my dealer. The wobble got much much worse after the alignment. I could not drive the bike anymore. I was thinking that the front tires are now noticing the bad rear tire more. I then decided to get the front tires balanced. I then noticed Sunny had mounted my front right tire in the wrong rotation! I got the tire mounted properly. I got the new rear tire, got it balanced and mounted. I still had the violent wobble. The trike has been in the shop a couple weeks now as they are trying to figure out the problem.
Owners should make sure a bolts are tight and all tires are mounted in the correct rotation, especially if Sunny assembled your trike.
I think a bad bushing may be my issue. Good luck. And I wish you even better luck if you ever need warranty parts from Sunny. It takes forever to receive parts and they will probably be incorrect parts when they arrive.

 Ouch. Sorry to hear you have had such a bad experience. I have one of the much-maligned D150TKA trikes, and had much the same with the "supplier" parts. The tires were rubbish; the rear was out-of-round, and one of the fronts was separating from the cord body on one side of the tread, almost all the way around the tire. Two of the light bulbs were dead out of the box. The fuel pump was weak. The fluids were who-knows-what, but not even usable. The battery never took a charge. The brake pads were rubbish. I had to spend $250 on the thing before I even started it. The front shocks were set one to max preload, and one to minimum. I did the assembly myself, having seen some of the input on the net beforehand. To their credit, when I called the distributor about the fuel pump, they instantly sent me a new one, the new one being a Mikuni, replacing the poorly-cast original with only Chinese characters on it. OTOH, the basic bike is fine. The frame is solid, the engine was torqued and adjusted properly and runs fine, and the hydraulics on the brakes, after I flushed the fluid and replaced it with good stuff, are very good. There is one thing you might watch for, though I don't know if the 300 is the same - on my 150TKA, the drive pawl for the speedometer drive (on the rear wheel) doubles as the axle nut, and when the scooter is going down the road, the drag on it from the speedo drive is trying to loosen it because of the rotation. I have mine Loc-Tited, but I still check it regularly, and it does tend to try to loosen. I may have to go with another speedo rig, and kill the present system, to take away this threat. One other thing; the charging system is, well, marginal. Since mine is strictly an around-town scoot, and only very rarely ridden after dark, I have thought to do some wiring hoodoo, and disconnect the low-beam headlights for normal running, and use the high-beam position on the headlight switch to power those, so that I have no headlights during daylight, and after dark use the headlight switch to bring on the low beams. Hopefully, that will take a chunk of load off the charging system while daylight riding. We will see.

 I feel you must be welling to be a shade tree machanic when you get involved in obtaining any import scooter whether its 2 or 3 wheels. The scooter culture over see is one filled with tinker heads who love to fix on and mod ouot their scooter as a past time or hobbie. |

It's not a reverse trike with all the front end problems. It's a Vogue 150ccZK, (Auto Moto bought in June) with a rear end differential, also tilts, all disk brakes, an enclosure and wiper for rainy day riding. I corrected a lot of small problems, vapor leaks, air leaks, etc. and I'm likeing it more and more, after 1200 miles. I call it "BIG RED" because everyone can see it on the road. -Savy Attachments:

My Vogue 150ccZK trike cruises at 45-50+mph and averages 70 mpg, being enclosed the engine is loud, but I can live with it for the sake of the ability ride in the rain with a windshield wiper, and more stability with 3 wheels.
