Thanks, Lefty. The speed would be a factor for sure. My IB Ruckus type never got over
45 and it would shake you to pieces then until I balanced the wheels. The rear axle appears
narrow in the pix too. I am not considering one but with being snow bound I have been doing scooter research on the web for entertsainment. Also they push the engine as being a Honda GY6 and that is misleading. I believe that Hoda designed the original gy6 but no longer has the patent on them. After my encounter with the IB 150 bad tranny I am sort of burned out
on Chinese scoots. We are going to tear her down this summer and follow David Sr.s suggestion about the bearings. Once fixed she will go on the market. My mechanic owns an IB with the same problem so he will do the wrenching, I will be the helper. For trikes I think your Burgy conversion is the way to go. IB is good if you are good at wrenching which I am not! No offense meant, Jim. Just my IB experience all way round left me feeling negative aboutthe company in general.

Thanks, Jim. I had seen the same report in a couple of forums. AutoMoto is an American Co.
that was established in 2008 and is selling under the AutoMoto brand. From what I read they are sold in other parts of isia and Europe. Trikes are used a lot for freight/taxi use in those countries. I would think that the original unit with a top would have problems in windy situations. However the Sport unit doesnt have a top, just introduced this month in America
and is being priced at $3800.00. Should prove interesting. Iwoul prefer a 250cc engine
instead of the GY6. The mfgr claims it can handle a 380 lb load. any one else have any info
to shgare ?

Does anyone have any experience with the AutoMoto trike or the new AutoMoto Sport trike, this being the topless one.Have any one seen one, riden one, or heard any opinions concerning them.
refer to www.the auto moto.com to see thenunit I am referring to. Your input will bewelcomed.

Cookies, we got 6" of snow here in the NGA mountains last Sunday, Locked every thing down from Atlanta north. We have a steep shaded drive, still not passable. Does not happen
often in GA but when it does, then it is,'Katie bar the door.' Temp was 19 this morning, has warmed up to the low 30s, willl be 15 tomorrow morning and then up into the 40s. The great
melt down starts then followed by flooding.

Rich, did what?? Actually the Puma copy has a better front basket concept. They remind me of English Bulldogs----so ugly they are cute.!!!!!! (I am snowed in for the 5th day and getting
Cabin Fever 8^(

For 600 bucks at Tractor Supply I bought an 8" trailer with a long loading ramp. I had been loading scoots up a reinforced wooden ramp into my 10' box truck. It worked but it was a bear to load an unload. I pull the trailer with my TTMH or my Honda CRV. A piece of cake to load or unload. Money well spent!!
