#1010071 sidecarsrule (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 5 Road Star trike front tire 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I have heard of putting a car tire on the front of my trike..Anyone out there heard of this?   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/05/05 14:22 By sidecarsrule.

Trikes corner & steer bad enough even with raked trees, not sure if it would help or hinder.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1010087 Father_Pobasturd (User) VENI VIDI VICI Platinum Boarder Posts: 4980 Re:Road Star trike front tire 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Are you running a trike or a sidecar rig? The front wheel on the Road star is narrower than the rear. I'm not sure one of those Austone tires would work out on that narrow of a rim. Certainly you would get better life from it. This may be one of those you'll never know until you try scenarios.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1010092 sidecarsrule (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 5 Re:Road Star trike front tire 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   roadiemort wrote: Wow 1 post in 7 years, you talk way too much, lol.

I had a sidecar rig, this was real hard to steer plus I got tired of it..I had my road star triked with reverse and an easy steer..Call me spoiled but at my age I still want to ride and why not do it in comfort.I have to put a new front tire on seems like I should just stick to the stock tire.Thanks for getting back to me......   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1010127 Father_Pobasturd (User) VENI VIDI VICI Platinum Boarder Posts: 4980 Re:Road Star trike front tire 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Not to go , but how does reverse work?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1010211 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 18167 Re:Road Star trike front tire 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Father_Pobasturd wrote: Not to go , but how does reverse work? You put it in "R" and it makes the trike go backwards.   Logged     dave   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1010216 roadiemort (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 7904 Re:Road Star trike front tire 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   sidecarsrule wrote: Father_Pobasturd wrote: Are you running a trike or a sidecar rig?

The reverse is nice but noisy.Just flip a switch while in netural and you back up..Really nice if you don't have to push it, but it does roll easy....   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1010417 Father_Pobasturd (User) VENI VIDI VICI Platinum Boarder Posts: 4980 Re:Road Star trike front tire 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Thanks but I was hoping you could elaborate on it a bit more. Is it mechanical or electric? Where does it drive from? Could it be used on a sidecar or 2 wheeler? Where did you get it? How much does it cost?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
