I'd check with the UK dept of registries for legalities (I think you call it a different name but whatever they're called), but I know trikes are legal over there so should be no issues.
Here's a link for the Retract a Trike Mike, ain't cheap...

Track-a Trike
I have been told that Track-a-Trike has gone out of business about a month ago......my question is: has anyone bought them ? and if so, how do I get in touch with them ? ....or if that is not the case ( new owner )...does anyone know where I can purchase a used one ?

I have no idea. If you cannot contact someone by the phone number, then I guess they are gone.
I don't need it now, but if the time ever comes, I'll look at landing gear before a trike. I've watched the videos and love how it works.

As cool as I think they work, I will take the trike over the wheelies. Remember Eddie, as you get older the memory fades a teensy bit and you might just forget to hit the button at the red light, come to a stop and just tilt over to the left.. :grin2:
Yeah, GWK, that would be embarrassing. However, watching the videos, it does have an automatic switch that the landing gear comes down or goes up at 9 mph. I believe it also has a manual option to use as necessary. Practically speaking, below 9 mph, it is a trike. You actually don't have to put your feet down even when stopped. Conclusion: it rides like a motorcycle but stops like a trike. The best of both worlds.

Cool, I learned something. I did not realize that the system had an "auto" setting. Thanks for the info.!!
your welcome. if you haven't done so, go to youtube and watch the videos of the landing gear installed on a goldwing. pretty sweet operation. plus, its a hellava lot cheaper that a trike.

You can try Dodds Trike in Alabama. I saw one used one in his shop about a year ago or so. And he was trying to sell it cheap. I didn't have any interest in it so I didn't ask anymore questions.
