    Got this one fixed up enough to move! I am considering an electric conversion for this, but not sure yet. I’ve got others I’ve thought about doing it with too.

    A word of warning. I consider trike designs with 2 wheels in the back and a high center of gravity to be accidents waiting to happen. Ride on a sidewalk and drop a rear wheel off the curb and you just did a faceplant in traffic. Make a turn too suddenly and you just did a faceplant. It's a very unstable design. Hit something wrong with the front tire, you just did a faceplant. That's why you see kids riding tricycles fast putting a foot down in the turns.

    Trikes with 2 wheels up front are much more stable. The low slung ones can actually be ridden on 2 wheels if you want to show off.

    Some larger tires are 3" width, while some are 4" ..... it could be a trade-off, with speed/handling being slowed by wider tires. :dunno:

    You misunderstood my intent. I was referring to tire diameter, not width. the tall tires on the model you posted vs the considerably smaller diameter tires the others posted up.

    With this (below) in the ad, it's not happening for me. I've nothing to hide, but I won't give someone my personal information, when they have no need to see it.

    Need to see IN DL and LTCH and provide receipt for both parties

    Those electric assist recumbent trikes are a blast to ride. My buddy has one and it's very comfortable and fast, only downside is they are very pricey.

    That is going to turn a lot of people away. Even CM's love for the Kimber isn't enough to overcome that line.
    Some purple needed in that statement. :)

    Oh I’ve got plenty of experience with wrecking on these things! Lol. We had many when I was growing up because my sister is handicapped. I had way more fun that I ever should have riding one two wheels with one…. Wife had one in her family when she was younger too. Still took both of us a little time to get used to it again. Definitely a weird feeling!

    So, what do you do when you have a spare stainless slide and a bead blaster?

    Mortgage rates rose SHARPLY since last week.

    Add that to the rolling snowball of inflation.
    Theoretically, rates rising on mortgages and in general should help with the inflation rate. Of course not indiscriminately pumping the economy full of free money when there were known supply chain issues would have prevented a good bit of it before it started.

    We'll see if this inflation can be quelled with normal monetary policy or not. If not, we could be in for some Carter Era badness.

    Joe can start the push for electric vehicles right here by buying us all electric bicycles so we can cruise like the true gang that we are.
    He'll only do that if they are made with union labor, since you know he refuses to recognize Tesla for example as an EV manufacturer to the point of giving China more mentions in a positive light than Tesla.
