For sure we'll want to see her and Jim is a good man he'll do you right! We've also got the Icebear trike guru hanging around and if there is anything you need just holler! Welcome to the forum! JR

You may be the first one on the FORUM that is. So you are the science project on IB PDI and for sure come back on and tell us if its a thumbs up or down on their PDI and if its worth paying for their PDI. Alleyoop

GREAT!! So did you pay extra for IB to do a PDI or are you doing the whole thing yourself. If IB did do a PDI let us all know what they did and how well, so that other IB buyers will know whether to fork over the extra cash for them to do a PDI. Alleyoop

No Jim said he would refund my money for the pdi.. 1 hour to assemble bike 1.5 hours to put the stupid mirrors on. the plastic is kind of warped and the screw to short lol The bike fired right up and ran good the front shocks kind of stiff I dont know if they are adjustable The plastic is very cheap on the bike I dont see how it will stay together we will see.

I found a stamp on the engine. Its a 157QMJ I am guessing this is a honda clone. After changing the oil I went out for my first real ride the scooter is very quite and will cruise around 45 mph with barely touching the gas. it climbed hills great and I weigh 195 lbs. I got it up to about 50 for a short distance but not pushing it real hard to I break it in good. I did find out the problem with my lose throttle control. As I was driving the throttle cable came out of the hand grip. after taking apart I found that the thing is broke so I emailed Jim this morning and he said he would call the factory and see what they say. But so far I like the bike runs like a top only negative is the cheap plastics don't really fit together and the rubber floor mat does not even line up with the holes to snap in. Is there a after market mat that maybe I could glue or stick to the bottom

Very Cool, great that it moves out smartly and gets up there. That is a good motor has good power and torquey littl thing. I have the same motor in my Trike and parts are very common for it. Ride Safe Alleyoop
