After getting involved with the fuel thing on Mrs.Newbies 50cc Ice Bear I have diligently read the trike posts. Compared to the Wildfire the trike shows care in assembly and quality in components. I am now wondering if going bigger makes sense as far as a trike is concerned. Since the weight of the bigger ones is what causes them to be slow, why not 150 it and spend drivetrain $ for better performance. Currently the only difference between the little trike and my two wheeler is tire noise from the trike, and careful on turns. Performance is pratically the same, ( trike has lighter variator weights to offset weight.and gets pratically the same gas mileage as the two wheeler. Final thought reverse. Being a former Bike Nut for, 48 years what happened to parking the thing by pulling into one parking space and parking in the next to avoid the need for reverse? OMG just had a vision of the old fat ones with the fat wives triking it! That will require bigger trikes and we will see all the retired ones on scoots instead of Harleys. (Harley lenghtened their big bike 3 inches simply for fat american's).
