That's really awesome! I'm missing my trike the more I look on here! (had to sell do to medical bills) but hopefully sometime soon I'll get a 300 Then you'll have to tell me how you did that!

what kind of Silicone would I buy? Where would I buy it? I've not used it to be sticky before only to make things greasy? ((don't mean to sound stupid but figured it's better to ask ))

to the backfiring it does it after the trike gets warmed up & when I've gone apx 40ish and let off the gas. dosen't seem to do it as bad if I let off the gas slowly but if I have to stop sudden or get caught in a yellow light it'll backfire. and Jim, I was just as surprised as you to open the box and find a 50cc carb An update on the company: After months of no contact I finally got a hold of someone and told them I would be contacting a lawyer if I didn't get some help and now they are "supposed" to be sending me out another carb. We'll see if it's the right one this time.

Ok the run down: I picked up a used 150cc carb at a local shop (I sent my "good" one into superiorpowersports.com) only to get a 50cc one back and to never hear from them again going on like 500 mesg's I've left them. What made them send me a carb was this: The stock one was running way lean, Alley told me what to do to drill the air / fuel screw out to adjust it. Was having MAJOR trouble with backfiring so I took it to a shop. It ran great for about a day then the air / fuel screw fell out. I repaired it sorta with cable ties and putting a nail in the screw hole so I could get home (no backfiring btw) Trike actually ran pretty ok. But I didn't want to have a trike rigged like this so I contacted Superior because my trike is "supposed" to have a warranty + 1 yr extended warranty (I bought it about 4 months ago now) I was told to send my carb in and they'd send me a new one. I did they sent me a 50cc carb. That's the last I've heard from them after massive emails I gave up and bought a used carb. NOW: My issue is still with backfiring. I'm unsure if the trike is still just running lean (I have adjusted the air / fuel) but I'm afraid to turn it out to much for fear of loosing the screw again. So I'm really unsure of what to do now. I've went over the things I know to check that Alley advised me on but can't seem to make it stop backfiring? Any suggestions would be great. But I'm also advising other people not to go to superiorpowersports.com if your lucky enough to get a "working" scooter I guess they are fine it shipped great / great amount of time/ paper work for title was in with the scooter. But I"ve had trouble with this trike from like day 3 of owning it (I have a post on scootdawg if you wanna read what the trike has put me though) and I haven't heard others with this many issues. I do think I got a lemon & told them so within the first week of ownership to no avail. So be cautious!!

Got the trike (150H), no radio as of yet installed. I did buy a mini amp off of ebay to put under the seat, just gotta find a good place for the speakers. Time to do so seems to be nonexistent

Did you ever get your radio installed? I'm getting the 150H soon, and would like to put a radio in.

That's something like I was thinking about, I just wasn't sure if it could work. Would I need to get a different type of hitch? I bet I could find a local welder to do something along those lines for me.

Thanks, however I found out today that at my apartment complex I can not have a trailer here EVEN if it's attached to my scooter all the time (when I get the trike that is) So. . . The thing I was thinking was this: The metal shelf behind the trike, how much weight could it hold do you think? Cause if I take my batteries out of my mobility scooter it's something like 55lbs + 35lbs for my battery = roughly 90 lbs I found out not the 100 I thought. So would I be able to take the batteries off, put them in my trunk, then put the mobility scooter on the platform? Do you guys think that would work? If so would it be just the standard trailer hitch or does it take a special hitch? If you guys don't think that would work at all let me know either way

Yeah I was afraid it would be to much, like you said the others just cost way to much $$ for right now, it's a shame they almost cost as much as a trike lol

Think you could fix something like that up to put behind a trike to haul a roughly 100lb mobility scooter?
