Any 12 volt horn would work. Car horns and air horns are popular replacements. Anything louder than the OEM horn should be installed with a 12 volt relay to handle the extra power requirement of the louder horn. I like the Wolo Bad Boy which I use in both of my scoots. The compressor and horn are one compact unit, but they can be split up for use in tight quarters like on my VIP50.  |

Thanks Cruiser! Just went to the store and grabbed a high tone horn and installed it. Thicker than the OEM horn so tucked it in behind the RH headlight. Didn't tell my wife I was going to test it in the garage. She almost tore the door off the dishwasher!

[replyingto=oldputz]oldputz[/replyingto]replaced mine with an electric air horn (bad boy) Man is that loud. You'd never expect from this little ol trike. It give out the same burst as a trumpet style air horn. Everything is all compact in one unit mounted it on the upper side of front storage compartment under the front cowl/faring....Still get no respect form drivers pulling out in front of me... But the horn is still fun to use.
