something doesn't look right...the unit does look nice, but it says it is direct from the manufacturer? Who is the manufacturer? It looks like a cyclemaximus, but has also like a tipke. Brand new for $2000? I'd be suspicious

Bike is very heavy, has a 24" wheel base, narrower than a Tipke, panels are not fiberglass-just vinyl over board, safety bar in front takes leg room from the passengers, and made in Turkey.

ok i now know it was made in turkey, i know its a littel heavy but as i said im just starting out and im getting a loan from my brothe,r so what i need to know is, is this worth the 2000$ or do you think i should keep looking, and if you know any other pedicabs that u could recomend in the same price range.
thanx
'The thing about pedicabs is that you get what you pay for' & sadly this has been the case with many companys that got home mades in London, they were cheap but did not last or have been a nightmare to get corrective maintenance.
If you have the money go for mainstreet, SUV or maximus but if you do not & then check out some of the second hand sections with the main makers.
When something goes wrong, does this company in turkey give you public liabilety, do they come over & fix it & can they ship you the spaires quickly?
I managed to buy a 2nd hand mainstreet & this trike rocks, the little baby only cost me £600, so its not so bad for a good trike.
Regarding the trike (looks nice) but did they builed this from a motore bike, as lots of the bits look like that (especialy the back wheels).
Oh yea for I forget, add shipping & insurance to the price (auch!!!!!!):mad:
