Tow Pac makes an excellent kit but I don't think that they make one for the Jonway. SaferWholesale markets a one size fits all kit but I don't know of any one who has bought one and to me their ads have always sounded to good to be true.
If I were to trike a bike I would go with Tow Pac. You can call them to see if they make one for your ride .They do make one for the TGB Laser 150. Price, including freight to my area, is $1579.00.

Re Safer Wholesale: Ripoffreport.com-52 negative reports received in the last 3 years. Sales rep with bad attitude, wrong item received, refund never received, never received the product ordered, took my money and never returned it. I would definately avoid this outfit.  |

If I recall correctly the Treasure Coast unit was made in China, looked ok but never saw one. TowPac makes a good unit from all I hear. Have seen a couple of larger scooters on the freeway using them and they looked good. I have not had one myself but for the money I think it would be a good buy IF they make one for your scooter. I ultimately went for a Cozy sidecar for my TGB Laser 150. The SC is a whole new riding experience and one needs to practice and learn all
you can about about them before getting one. I have an Ice Bear trike and use it on my property, easier to handle that an SC.

TowPac made a trike unit for my Buddy 170i which we installed last week. Great people to work with, went out of their way to design a MicroMini unit for the 170i.Their construction of the unit is spot on, great welding and definitely well built. Still have some fiddling to do on it, adjusting, etc. but I am very pleased with it. Bryan Smith of Mountain Moped
did the wrenching and I assisted by staying out of the way. From unpacking to riding took less than 6 hours.
I am used to riding a sidecar unit which helps but the trike unit does handle a bit differently. Has a different feel on the road but you get used to it quickly. Just remember that you have 3 wheels behind you, not one. For the dollar spent I don't think you can get a better unit. Dianne in the office and Jeremie in the shop are extremely helpful.

"Three wheels behind you"? Doesn't that make it a quad?  (Sorry, couldn't resist!) |

Well Ellpee, it does not make an ATV(got one of those too) and contrary to the wishes of some it is not a car and you still need a MC license to ride it. (Sheesh, every one wants to ne a comedian)  |
