I tried posting this a couple of days ago, but it seems to have disappeared. Probably operator error on my part....
Can street-legal VW trikes be used "off-road"? I DON'T mean hard-core stump-jumping, but some off-the-beaten-path kind of stuff?
URAL Motorcycles makes two sidecar motorcycle rigs which can engage and power the third wheel for going offroad. I was wondering if you could use a trike instead.
BTW I've also posted a similar question about dune buggies on another forum here on Samba. In the future I'd like to have SOMETHING that I could take into the boonies without buying a 20 mpg Jeep Wrangler.
:wink:
Thanks in advance.

| My trike does fine off road.The wheel base is too long for aggressive off roading. it's only 840 lbs.It's alot of fun getting it airborn. |

| I had a Trike a year ago and it did just fine off-road, they're wider than an atv so you cant use all the trails youd find and you gotta watch the way its built if there is too little weight on the front end it will be very difficult to steer on uneven ground. I solved that with some of the plates from a weight bench :D |
