New & Excited 3 Wheel Driver (goldwing Trike & Tow-pac Kit On Old Goldwing).

It'll be nice to jump in & go without having to put on helmet, protective clothing & grab rain suit. Want to pull trailer on long trips & camping. All the cager ammenities will be nice to have at an affordable price! If the MPG target comes true, that's even more fantastic! My scooter & motorcycle MPG don't even come close. Well, my Suzuki Burgman 650 does around 54 MPG, but doesn't have roll-up windows! Can hardly bear waiting for my Elio's arrival!

Welcome to the forum, phipruitt! It's going to be an interesting year...and long.

P.S. - I bought one of my Porsche 914's from a guy in Lexington, KY. Very cool town!

Hello and PhipPruitt to the Elio Owners Forum.
Hope you find every bit of information you ever look for.

But I hate to burst your bubble so early but EM (EM=Elio Motors) have said towing a trailer will void your warranty.
So if you want to wait 3 years till the warranty ends; or if you don't care about a warranty, let us know what you figure out to use for a hitch.

My favorite trike

View attachment 7913

Looks like her passenger escaped; the door on the dog kennel is wide open. but it looks like the cat (or small dog) carriers are closed.
What I can't figure out is what are those 2 rebar rods on the right side of the front tire that start at the splash guard on the frame of the trike?

The bottom one is actually the crease in the asphalt, not rebar. look at the front part of the tire..
The top one?

I have wondered about that also. I think one line is just the street pavement joint, but the other looks like it wraps around the tire. (?)

I like this trike very much. It is a simple VW trike with a Honda front wheel welded to it. It also appears this lady uses this trike as a serious vehicle, not just a toy. I have never heard of a trike used seriously. My hat is off to her. It is a mobile platform. She should have small wheels or skids under the front corners of the floor platform. This should be easy to make. A slow speed trike truck.
