Choosing the right Trike Conversion Kit is always a matter of personal preference. Some factors to consider are:
The Ride: Independent Suspension or not?
Drivabability: Lean or No-Lean?
Styling: Classic or Modern?
Warranty: Is it adequate? How does the kit affect Bike warranty?
This is why we at Tabor Trikes strongly recommend that you take a test drive on as many Trike Conversions as possible. Visit Bike Rallies or local dealers that offer "demo" rides to focus your preference.
For many, the COST is a major factor in the decision-making process. We recently surveyed some of the most popular Trike Conversion Kits and constructed a price table for your reference:
