OK, Alley Oop and Rapid Jim, especially. where can I order the infamous missing bearing and the gaskit for my 09 IKB Ruckus clone trike?? We are ready to tear into it but will need those parts first.

Good scoot. i had a 2006 red Tank Touring 150 but gave it to my stepson and it now resides in TX.. Had about 2000 miles on it before it left here and never had a problem with it. Tank and Roketa were being made on the same assembly line and were pretty good Chinese scoots.

I have another rule. I never ride double on my scoot or behind another rider.

The closer is the best one of the lot. We all should make it our one to follow. As for aging, at 75 I still cant get all that I need to do done in a days time. Aging is mental. When you chose to think of your self as old then you are.

Exactly, Alley. I am interested in putting one on my TGB R9i. we should get started on the IB Ruckus clone in the next few days, working on the differential. The IB is a puzzle. Left it in the barn for 4 months and it started on the first crank. I ride it every day to the mail box and around the acreage, just putting. It is a tough trike except for the infamous IB transmission problems. When on the road it hits 50, as we have discussed, and that is about it, pulls our steep hills with no problem. Once fixed it is on my list of not to sell scoots. By the way where is your other trike???

Thanks, Tressa. I was the guy who enquired on the other forum when I saw your avatar. It sounds good to me. I will check with TowPac to see if the kit can be adapted to my needs. I have an IB trike but am not fond of it, preferring my TGBs. Again, thanks. Wolfhound

Tressa, a quick question. where did you get those neat trike outriggers on your pictured scoot and are they universal? May be just what I am looking for to put on my TGBR9i Thanks in advance.

I get kidded about it now and then but I wear helmet, jacket, boots, gloves, and heavy work pants when ever I ride. (WallowWorld carries some great carpenters pants by Dickie). And that is for summer riding. In the winter I go to the leather jacket. I am, after 75 years, rather fond of my skin. Down here we have biker wannabes dressed in shorts, thing sandels, T shirts and the obligatory helmet. When they wreck those Harley Piggies they leave a greasy spot on the highway that takes days to wear off and if they survive the make the plastic surgeons Mercedes payments for the next 12 months. Moral of story: Dress to protect yourself at all times.

As you knoiw, AO, I have an IB trike that we hope to get running this summer. It is next on the list to be worked on. I am interested in Reverse trkes and have been studying the Kandi line if they have solved the front end alignment problems. wish they had a bigger engine as the 250 they are using tops out a 55. Give us your opinion in the trike section, plese.
