I own a reverse trike and once you replace the stock tires and line them up parallel with the rear wheel you should be good to go.
The amount of 'lean' is restricted, so there is a learning curve. Anyway you figure it, dual up front or in the rear, does not ride like a two wheeler so with each ride it just takes a little time to learn what you can and can not do. I like the fact that you can somewhat lean into a turn on a reverse trike. Not sure that's possible on a rear wheeled trike.
I have not had the pleasure of riding a rear wheel trike, but some pretty knowledgable people on this forum own them and seem to enjoy them. I really like my reverse trike and the looks I get. It's a little slower than a two wheeler because of the additional weight, but with bolt on mods I can sustain 55 MPH.
Find the best price and do your own PDI thoroughly. And don't expect much service after the scoot is delivered. Scooter Depot did a good quick job of delivering my trike, but it was all downhill from there, service wise. That's why you've got this forum.

Alley, u da man. Stayed up almost 2 hours reading these posts from start. Funniest S#it I've read in a long time.
And the academy award goes to Rexx. If I could learn how to speak and spell like that, as well as professionally diagnose a GY6 clone, and stay sober, I would do it. Thank you gentleman. It was very entertaining. Alley you helped me a lot last year with my 150 reverse trike. I thank you. Take care!

Brake pads

Post by mrpalmetto on Jun 6, 2013 18:13:16 GMT -5
I'm wanting to replace my stock brake pads on my 150cc Reverse Trike. Does anyone know where i can buy a good Quality pad like EBC or equal. The size is 36mm wide X 41mm tall X 7mm thick. That's smaller than a matchbook and my stopping power is nominal at best with the stock pads. With a reverse trike i have 2 front wheels so i need something much better than the stock Chinese pads.
I know there are other bikes, scoots, and ATV'S that use that same size pad, Honda for sure, but it is difficult to impossible to cross reference by knowing just the size. It has just one center hole as a mount. It's so small of an area i want something good to be stopping me doing 50mph.
Has anyone else changed pads from stock And found a good source? i can buy replacement pads from Chinese parts dealers, but i need something much, much better. Sure could use you guys and girls help.

He's right. Good rubber makes a world of difference.

Believe me.....Chinese scooter tires suck. I took the two front tires off my reverse trike and they look like they had been in a fire. Less than 500 miles on them and side by side they did not even look like they were the same type/brand of tire. All warped and deformed. Cheap tires are REALLY noticeable on a reverse trike.
Put some Pirellis' on and no bounce, no shakes, just a smooth ride. At $45 a piece, it was the best money i spent on my scoot.

I did something similar. I used the scoop without the extension. I cut away all the exposed existing grill on the stock fan cover to open that fan area up. I would guess i increased the inlet area 50% by cuting out all that plastic.
I then cut a piece of screen for the scoop and installed the screen, on the back side of the scoop, with silicone and used a box of 22 long bullets and poured them into the scoop to weight down the screen to conform to the odd shape of the scoop, until the silicone dried.
I used a fake carbon fiber scoop and installed it like you did without the extension. You did a great job. Very impressive. You might look into cutting away that stock grill area and using the screen material to keep the unwanted stuff from entering the fan area.
One thing's for sure, one great idea leads to another on this forum.

Are Dr Pulley sliders far superior to other brand name sliders. The price sure is superior. Do you get the price difference out of them?
