I saw this on the net and altho it's probably junk, I thought it was kinda interesting.

Not bad looking but why the heavy weight....420lbs net? Does not look like it should weigh that much.

That bobber is really cute! My neighbor bought a scooter from them a while back. Pretty cheaply made, but he loved it. He's 75 years old, and having a little trouble with his balance lately, and he wrecked the scooter. Hurt himself worse than the scooter. So he sold it and called last week to order a trike from them. He wants the 150 with 2 on the front. I can't talk him out of it. They told him they were out of stock until mid-July, so he is waiting, but he will get one. He told me just yesterday that he spoke with the guy who bought his scooter and that guy is loving it. Riding it all over the place. More than he expected. I still think they are kinda junky, but I guess they serve a purpose. My neighbor just wants to be able to ride a few miles to see his daughter and grandaughter, without having to take the truck or car. So I guess you take it for what its worth.

When he gets it, he told us that he wants my hubby and me to help him put this one together (they ship some-assembly-required) He had trouble installing the front wheel on the scooter and got it out of balance. If I hadn't ridden the thing, he would have never known it was wrong!

He's gonna get this one.

I almost bought a ice bear trike instead of the S40.I even called a dealer in Texas three times and he never called me back. After much research I found that these things break down a lot and are hard to get parts for unless you are near a dealer. As cool as they are I went with the S40. Less headaches and a brand name. As they say, Buyer Beware!
