Some of you know that I recently bought a pre-owned Tow Pac Insta Trike. For those not familiar some refer to this trike modification as outriggers or training wheels.
. It's basically a poor man's trike as it's about one third the cost of a full trike conversion. It's also not a permanent installation as the trike is removable in 5 minutes if one wanted to convert back to 2 wheels. Essentially you still use the rear wheel of the motorcycle as the drive wheel.
Some who own one speak about stiff steering as one doesn't lean or use counter steering. It was easier to steer than expected and find a fast learning curve with it. I expected to be going wide in the corners but find I can cut a corner just as tight as I want too without lifting up the TP wheels. I find myself power sliding through the deep sand on my private road and when pulling off road don't worry about anything loose or irregular surfaces.
I'll probably add to this review over time and riding experience to share rider impressions about the TP Insta-trike.
