Anyone with experience with Trike City out of Pt St Lucie, Fl? They offer a trike kit for my Linhai 260 for about $1300 with shipping. This is a kit that replaces the rear wheel with a differential and chain drive. The kit is supposed to have everything including a new brake caliper, wheels/ tires, and fenders.

Those are the guys that will make a custom sprocket for the final drive right? No experience with them, but if you get one of those kits,please post some pics and your thoughts .

Sounds way better than a trike kit with four wheels.

From what I have seen about them, they are legit. They will custom cut a sprocket for your application, if they don't already have one.
The differentials are high quality, not just some modified buggy rear end. I have been looking for a suitable kit to turn my Helix to a trike, a true trike. I really don't want one of those training wheel kits. Not to mention the price is better for this kit. Unfortunately they seem to be less common than the outrigger kits, and as such I can't vouch for anything. I have seen in person the TowPac or whatever and honestly wasn't impressed. It was great for what it is, but too many stress points IMHO

Do you have a contact, internet link, address or phone for Trike City? I've done a couple searches, but nothing.

Wish they offered a larger rear wheel setup. Otherwise this is the best option I have found so far.

I am sure you could swap sprockets to allow for a larger wheel.

With this style of trike it shouldn't be hard to do. It doesn't have a rigid body wrapped around those tiny wheels. The fenders could be raised or replaced. Seeing it would make the scooter look more like one of those Trailer/Trike Kits you might be able to get some of theirs.  |
