Training Wheels for my S-9
« on: January 27, 2013, 04:36:31 AM »

I bought  2009 Honda Goldwing new and installed a Tow-Pac Insta-Trike kit to hold it up.
Last March I had it converted it to a real trike. Last Sunday I totaled it and now will have
to give up my Zero unless I can find a kit to add two more wheels to it.

Tow-Pac Insta-Trike makes kits for 49.9 CC Honda metros all the way up to the biggest bikes.
They have not heard of the Zero. What the world needs is a good 3 wheel electric bike. Or
in the case of Insta-Trike, four wheels.

Has anyone considered this? Looking for ideas so I can keep riding my S-9.

I am still recovering from the crash, but it is obvious that I will no longer be able to drive a two wheel vehicle
due to my injuries. I emailed Danson a few days ago but no response. I have decided to sell my S-9 for $6,000.
Only 2300 miles on it.

Since no one is probably going to buy my 2010 DS I've thought of converting one of my Yamaha TW200 trikes (I call them TWT200) by cannibalizing the 2010. I don't know what I would have to go through with the CA DMV. Both trikes now are street legal dual-sport vehicles and have seen a lot of highway and dirt riding.

Ill attach a  photo of the two trikes I built using the TW200 motorcycle and the YFZ450 ATV front end. I adapted motorcycle front wheel hubs to fit the disk brake equipped ATV hubs.

I never ride these anymore, I always ride my Zero DS instead but maybe if I converted one to electric I would ride it again.

I see a couple of dual-sport bikes on their compatibility list. Kawasaki KLR-650, BMW F650. Do they just need dimensions to adapt their trike kit to a bike?

Tangentially related.. but there are a couple of reverse trikes in progress at the elmoto forum.
