Motor Trike Tech. Data

All Motor Trike kits are manufactured using our Air Ride Suspension (patent pending) as standard equipment. We offer a true suspension letting the shock absorbers do what they were designed for...to dampen sudden and rapid motion. The comfort and stability of the Air Ride Suspension will give you a ride that is unsurpassed in the industry. When you combine the Air Ride Suspension with our ladder bar suspension, you can see why we ask you to ride all of the trikes that are available and experience the difference. Our product is unique in that our ride quality and handling characteristics split the difference between the traditional solid axle design and the independent rear suspensions being offered today.

The Motor Trike conversion comes with a 3 year - 60,000 mile warranty. The question people ask is how can we offer such an outstanding warranty at no additional charge. The answer is easy... quality. We use new axles custom made to fit our applications. New ring and pinions, bearings, seals, and brakes are installed in every kit we manufacture. They are built at our plant along with our frames and our fiberglass bodies. We invite you to visit us at our factory for a test ride or plant tour. If a trip to Texas is not in your immediate future, then visit our website at motortrike for a plant tour via the Internet. We recommend that you use one of our factory trained dealers to make your conversion. Motor Trike is extremely proud of the dealer network we have put together. We feel as though there are very few places that you will do business with that will treat you as well as our dealers do. They are dedicated to providing you with a quality product and quality service. These dealers are located in different parts of the country to satisfy virtually any geographic need.

	We have mentioned in the past that we develop our products with our own engineering staff. Our design team is an exceptional group of men with a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience with suspension and chassis design. That experience includes one NASCAR® Sprint Cup Championship, a 1st and 2nd Place Formula SAE Championship, three Road and Track Formula SAE Shootout victories, and the creation, design and manufacturing of the TMS Stallion. No one in our industry has this level of expertise and knowledge. Yes, we are proud of what they have done and more importantly, so will you when you see the results of their efforts. The suspension design is unique. You will see on the following pages the design criteria and the proprietary features and benefits of our new suspension. We have the greatest amount of suspension travel on the market which means to you a smooth and more comfortable ride. In addition to the ride quality, we have created a suspension with safety and stability engineered for cornering without the roll.  One of the reasons it took longer to bring to market than the trailer, is the complexity of the design and the different options that we have explored to satisfy the ride requirements we were seeking. Upon completion of the design and testing, we had to file our design with the patent office. The suspension is a very special piece of work, and we felt we should develop a new body to go with that design. The response we have gotten with the Fastback body was outstanding, so we pushed the envelope a little further on the IRS project. The door opening is larger, and the trunk is bigger with all sorts of nooks and crannies for you to store the little stuff (i.e. your tool box, cell phone, etc.) We also incorporated our trailer hinge design for the new body which means there is not a hinge anywhere in the interior of the trunk cavity. You can now fill it up and not worry about the hinge or door hardware interfering with your trunk capacity.
