If I were to get another one, it would be the 150cc ruckus clone trike
Viking pst150-8

Some interesting reading. I've had an interest in those reverse trikes but, see so few. Now I know why. That 150cc Ruckus clone posted by Dave look interesting. Big enough for my run around the city needs and no Tupperware to deal with. So Rapid Repair may have a customer coming his way. Next year, to much going on now.

Good morning everyone.

I looked at the link you included.  As you know, with a 50cc many would consider it an under-powered machine, but it also has those advantages such as being legal to use in the shoulder lanes, no insurance required, general driver's license only, and a bit cheaper. Since I'm using if for mostly local runs for shopping and the like, the only one I've found with a front basket (and sizeable rear trunk...and a hitch for my trailer) is the Mini Cruzzer, but thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

I am a huge proponent of taking the MSF class, having a MC endorsement, insurance and ATGATT.
I feel a 50cc is too under powered to ride safely in traffic. To me, a 150 is the minimum one would need to participate with the big boys.

But, if you feel the cruzzer fits your needs, (basket n trunk n hitch) my opinion is just that.

Whatever you get, i hope you ride the hell outa it and enjoy every trip.


I know I enjoy mine, and, you can't go wrong getting it from Jim (Rapid Repair)

I'm still a youngun, (65) so I have different needs

I'm retiring next week, and plan to get a lot more use out of my trike running errands around town.


enjoy

Thanks again Dave

I had a motorcycle endorsement almost my entire adult life, but I finally let it expire the last time I had my license renewed about four years ago....didn't think I'd be using it again...oops! I truly enjoy riding myself, so I know where you're coming from. I appreciate your advice.....adios for now.

By the way, what is ATGATT?
