no wheels

[sc00ter]

I have a few bike shops locally that actually carry tadpoles and one has a quad cycle on the floor, as actually IN STOCK. The guy I sold the BUZZ trike to rids the hell outta it and wants to upgrade to something else 3 or 4 wheels. I still have no idea why because he can ride a normal bike just fine and recently purchased a nice non-electric Trek for local use. If you, kevinmccune, or anyone else passed thru Northern VA stop at Bikes @ Vienna. Great selection and great people. They specialize in weird bikes and also have a good selection of used weird bikes. They also have a test ride trail right next to the shop.

Keep us updated on what you do next and/or end up getting.

well my daughter told me as much when she resided in the Norfolk area,my trouble is around here the closest shop with a lot of bikes is "cardinal bicycle" and given my area it has been a guessing game,I am an "old dog" and do not change easily( I was 13 years old before I could ride a 2 wheeler and to my dismay when I tried delta trikes it was is weird,it felt like I was going to fall off the seat and couldn't direct the daggone thing,so perhaps this next iteration will finally meet my perceived needs will keep you all posted about what happens with the reverse trike( maybe even the quad if I cant cancel it)

I just found this video of a trike that apparently operates the same way as the Trego trike.

It doesn't look good.
He doesn't think it's meant for someone with stability issues.

yes but he doesn't care as much( again vados!)

Who knows?
You've developed your own sense of balance that might work for you?

If the delta trike you rode didn't lean, it would upset your sense of balance.
The Trego leans, just not as much as a bicycle.

Kinda like training wheels.

 

[kevinmccune]

you never know I am willing give it a shot,perhaps my experiences would help someone

 

[kevinmccune]

well what do you know my adapter is on the way from Germany,DHL has it haven't heard from Alibaba about the quad cancellation( probably end up with that thing around May,ah well)

 

[kevinmccune]

well the TreGo is on the way managed to get the quad canceled if anyway possible I am going to send pictures after I get it built( have an advantage,have maybe a future bike mechanic son in law( he loves to work on them too) There is a bike I let get away from me "rear suspension" might beg for it back for the conversion I don't think the kit I am getting will work on a fattire bike.

well I finally got the trego kit,didn't really take that long supposed to work good on a 26" frame so I jumped in and got a turquoise hyper 26 ebike(229$) for the donor,tried to send pictures with my old system( no dice-have to get daughter to use her setup) planned upgrades to the hyper would be a 36 volt 500 watt 26 or 27.5 motor wheel and an upgraded freewheel 7 spd 11-32 just have to consider brake upgrade the trego already has dual hydraulic disc on front,might just leave caliper brake on rear,trying to make this as simple as possible( just this morning knees got stiff and started hurting-[so it goes]

 

[PCeBiker]

got a turquoise hyper 26 ebike(229$) for the donor,

That's a used ebike right?

I paid $620 USD for a battery and charger a few years ago.

its new.

 

[kevinmccune]

wally world craziness,think I got a middrive Schwinn from that group for under $500 a couple years back,didn't like that bike,modded a bit and resold.

 

[PCeBiker]

well I finally got the trego kit,

So what happened?

Can you ride the thing?

Did you fall over??

,my hiatus in the "Governors School for the gifted"(prison) ended my cyber journey,

I remember you said you got busted for buying pot for your daughter.

So, were you in prison for smoking Vado, or did you do something Evil??

I've got a pretty good looking girl locked in my closet right now,..

I think that she's either German or Polish, with that big block head of hers??

Kinda like an Umpa Lumpa ??

no,its a rather complex story-nothing crazy yet" the only "vados I have had for awhile has been an occasional delta 8 gummy,delta 9 makes me feel like I am losing my mind,the bike business has been rather crazy a bike I got back from a friend( what was he thinking) that I was going to convert I just gave up on yesterday he was in the process of dismantling that thing and get this he had lost most of the hardware,I finally threw in the towel-giving it to a talented friend,shame really it had some nice features,what I am planning on doing now is a new "peacedove"( steel frame 350 watt 36 volt,had one a while back and liked it) its all there !got cheap 20 inch fattie which scares me to death(its leaving soon) it surprised me how much rolling resistance the "fattie' had,get this would coast 10 mph slower down a 40 mph+ plus hill so you could imagine me trying to pedal that thing unassisted on a slight incline,btw nice "Vado". About the prison thing,the CA and Judge were apparently having a bad day,because the Sheriff told me later I got reamed really bad because others that had at least the same charges as me "skated" with a wrist slap,he offered to sign my papers for "expunging" the charges so you ,can figure how bad my initial charge was,so it goes,got my gun rights and voting rights back anyway( released from probation early) now its a funny thing a friend of mine said I could probably have the case dismissed for 50K$ couldn't afford it either way so I figure I ended up serving the time ,at a close expense to that. Apparently the "'Universe" smiles( maybe my higher power call Him what you will)if you try to be a decent person and be basically a nice individual but the judge refused to budge ignoring the community ,prison was a "waiting room from hell" experience for me wouldn't want to go back.

The BUZZ trike is still going strong but the gears are rigged right now. Owner bent the derailleur hanger and it's not replaceable. I though you could no longer ride 2 wheels? I gave away the RadRunner 2 a few weeks ago but the new owner needs to get it there. He's trying Pirate Ship like services to get the Rad from Norfolk, VA to Washing State near Seattle! I don't have the time to deal with the shipping and the local ebike stores owner is never there when I get time to drop in. They've packed and shipped a few ebikes via Bike Flights. Anyways, hope you find something that works for ya!

that's something about the "buzz" it surprised me about the torque that little motor had,you ought to have seen the first one,it arrived with part of the fork hanging out of the crate,looked like it had been dropped from around 10 ft,don't know why I didn't see that when I took delivery,contacted the "buzz " folks figured they would have just let me keep the damaged one,no had to re crate and send back,I had sent them several pictures was able to send pictures in those days( probably had daughter do it on her system) well you seen the second arrived undamaged,no its really pitiful how slow I have to ride a 2 wheeler,a fattie threw me in the dirt and rocks,my nose was literally plowing sand don't know how it wasn't broke( that bike went away quick a real "dish" bought it( man she was cute and she really liked the silly thing-she could blow her boyfriend in the weeds with it) so it goes, daughter and my grandson have moved to Norfolk ,she really loves the area,grandson not so much,good to here from you.
