I might as well start the wacky Chinese "knock off" thread...

These use the GY6 motors and the description says "Japanese Quality." lol
I have my fingers crossed that they will build some with the crf50 type motors,
and I have a feeling I won't be disappointed...

im diggin that first bike knock off or not

lowbike1 · 08-14-2008, 08:24 AM

I'm lovin the trike

fiddys4life · 08-14-2008, 09:12 AM

I like how the first trike has sliders!!!

shw911 · 08-14-2008, 11:08 AM

Whoa. nice trikes.

X7rocks · 08-14-2008, 11:21 AM

if they have the GY6 150 motors theres a inexpensive 4 valve kit for them

FourDoor · 08-14-2008, 11:35 AM

Now thats pretty cool looking.

dicktony · 08-15-2008, 01:58 AM

I hope they get EPA approval, it would be fun to play with and get some cheap parts/gy6 conversion gear. I am not a 3 wheeler fan, but they look cool. I have flashbacks to the days of riding "Big Red," my dad's first ATV purchase. I must have rolled that 3 wheeler 15 times : ) I would not want to do it again.. I can't imagine the scooter and concrete being a good way to retest old technology. If you did wreck, then you couldn't say a word. I doubt people would feel bad that you "bought a chinese 150cc 3 wheeled scooter replica of a 2 wheeled 50cc scooter and the damn thing flipped on the first 60mph turn!

I'd still buy one : )

Hello Kity is Chineese!?!?!? No Way!!! haha

nastyDugout · 11-09-2008, 11:15 AM

Ive worked on alot of these things and though they are from china what you get for the money is well worth it. I would only reccomend that you are at the least a little mechanicaly inclined!!

Pitster · 11-21-2008, 12:23 AM

Guys, I have been thinking about getting some of these, anyone want some for cheap? If you do let me know, cause I am going to make a few sample orders. Not looking to make money on them, just get them in to check the quality etc..

I'd be interested, let me know what you get.

p3ga · 11-21-2008, 07:14 AM

I think they're pretty cool, but is the rear track wide enough that they won't have the stability problems of the old 3 wheel atv's?

Old timers will remember that the safety nazis damn near killed the atv market in it's infancy. Three wheel atvs were deemed unsafe and legislated out of existence.

I remember that, I guess it almost put Honda out of biz, back in the day.

Gary,

There is already a ton of companies selling 3 wheel scooters here in the USA. They are called Mobility scooters for handicapped and old people. This is the only segment that should be riding a 3 wheeled vehicle without big mud tires. Since Dicktony isn't old, he obviously falls within the other demographic.
