This is not an endorsement but look what I stumbled across.

A reverse trike or cheap MP-3. You decide.

Interesting! Thanks KZ!

[jake aka:ventoscoot]

make it a 300cc and I may be interested.

Scooterdepot??? Nice/ Great looking trike but, Scooterepot does not have the best reputation. IMHO

da' looks sweet!!..now that's what i call a real TRIKE!!!...let's ask alley's opinion on this one.

Take a look at the head on photos and notice the 'knock kneed' slant to the front wheels.
Take a LOOK At the description calling it a trike, a scooter, and a moped. Cant make up
their minds? Actually those words are spiders for on line searchers. And lastly look at the
price. Way too low. Rocketa has had a better looking trike out for 2 years.
Caviet Emptor, or something like that.

PS: Roketa makes a Spyder type reverse trike 250cc, really nice looking trike but it sells
for AROUND $3500.00

here's the fun part,, it's gross weight is 430lbs,,,and it's rated 149.6cc?? 8.0Hp?? are they crazy??
how in jupiter's balls can a 150cc engine drag a 430lbs scoot?? crazy,crazy !! i call it stupet!!...i dunno what in the hell the manufacturer were thinking when they did that scooter/or trike or whatever??..,the aesthetic is superb but the mechanics are so dumb...i think the engineer who did that is still in the school?...lol

Hmmm...

Interesting! The 150 engine pushing over 400 pounds DOES seem pretty anemic. Might not be too bad though. My 150 only loses a couple mph with a 200 pound passenger aboard, behind my 250 pound butt... These GY6 150s are "torky" little boogers! And, the 150 traditional trikes also seem to be more or less comparable to two-wheelers in performance when I've ridden with them. However, the "55 mph+" is overly optimistic on 2-wheelers, let alone a heavier trike.

Neat suspension up front though! Probably modded from an ATV design, and the dual disks are classy! Have to agree with the idea of making it a 300 cc...

The variations on the basic 2-wheel 150 platform never seem to end!

Ride safe!

It does have a sort of appealing look to it. Probably because it is different from the other 3 wheelers. It seems to have an ATV front appearance. The 150cc makes no sense on any of these
3 wheelers. Why not just go ahead and design it for the 244 or 257cc engine. The sales would be much higher with a larger engin. It's cute but not what I could use. More engine is better.

the front face looks more like that of a majesty...wide,,if your'e just going to bring "ernie and duffy duck"(your avatar) as a passenger,,,i think 150cc is just enough..lol

I like the concept. It certainly avoids the mechanical problems that the traditional dual rear wheel trikes seem to have. Power transmission is simple as is the front suspension setup. Should work real good with a 250 or 300cc setup.
