    I watched the installation of my Tow Pac IT and it took 3 mechanics 4 hours to install. I would not have attempted by myself. There's a dealer for TP in Oklahoma as you don't have to go to their corporate headquarters to purchase and get installed in Illinois. If I could afford a full trike conversion I'd go that route but I'm very happy with my TP and have about 5k on it now. Taking it next Sunday to Eureka Springs with wife for a week long trip. Best of luck friend with your healing and getting another bike/trike.

    After close inspection the axel that holds the etrike broke off that caused the accident.
    If I knew how to post pictures I would do so. Sorry...

    Tow pack was originally designed for towing, it is the bike not the tow pack that will determine its ability..
    When I am gona fix something I will fix it. You don't have to bug me every 6 months.

    I have 2010 Goldwing & 2009 Bunkhouse. Wondering if the etrike & existing Hitch on Bike will be OK? Original looks much heavier built. Hate to give up Riding, Camping at 79 but leg strength is a concern. Thanks for input

    I had a 2002 wing. I used the hitch that was on the bike. I added the e-trike a couple months ago. All was well until the right wheel broke off the e-trike last month and caused me to wreck.

    where exactly did it break off at or come apart at?????
    sure would be good to know so we can check ours closer in that area
    Thanks and I am sure glad you weren't hurt a lot more

    did the weld brake or did the axel break itself????


    Well I have about 200 miles on my e-trike so far so good
    went on interstate today first time ran pretty good at 70 mph
    I have noticed some hairline cracks around one of the mounting
    holes for the fender.
    My kit came from factory with the rubber disc bolt was sticking
    thru the bracket about 1 1/4 inch bike felt to me like it leaned too much
    I adjusted disc up 1/4 inch on each side and it made a big difference.
    others have said there shouldn't be any leaning......
    I check all bolts and nuts frequently and so far have only found one
    to be a little loose we have some pretty rough roads around here
    but I prefer the country roads slow down and enjoy the scenery ...

    The brake was at a weld point. All the bolts were in tact after the brake. I had about 1000 miles when this happened.

    Didn't a couple of bolts brake on your frame? I did not think there was a weld that failed. Please share pictures.

    amen brother

    I call my Tow Pac e-trike, my training wheels....and they will stay on
    Goldie till I cant ride her any more.... I will probably
    look at a rake kit for it next year.should help out steering in the corn
    ers and curves somewhat.....


    now they call my Tow Pac, training wheels. I could care less what others say or think about these things as long as I'm happy with my choices.[/QUOTE]

    Check all welds and bolts after every long ride. I had a Voyager and it broke 4 times in 2 years 4,000 miles. I don't think the rake will help a lot . You have a center wheel that is fighting the turn in the rear. Notice how you can lift a wheel on a tight turn. I also notice how far forward your rear wheels are????
    When I am gona fix something I will fix it. You don't have to bug me every 6 months.

    Congrats on the new ETrike... When I bought my TP last year I looked at both models, the ETrike and InstaTrike and I decided to go with the InstaTrike instead for a number of reasons... The ground clearance seems to be greater with the InstaTrike and my wife would have lost her retractable foot rests if I went with the ETrike and that was a no-op, so I went with the IT... I bought one of their demo units so I saved some $$$ too...

    They did the install for me when I bought it, as at the time, I only lived about 90 miles north of them, but I ran into some alignment issues while trying to remove it and reinstall it, so I had to do a re-install of the kit which I just finished today (see my post in this forum) and now the trike kit goes off and on as it should...

    Overall I have been very happy with the IT and it does everything I want it to at a very reasonable cost when compared to a regular trike conversion... I have pulled my Time Out Dart cargo trailer about 700 miles with it and there were no issues there - all went well...

    I'm sure you'll be happy with your new E-Trike - I'm happy with my IT...

    I bought my 1994 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 with the Tow-Pac already installed(insta-trike 12" wheels) Never having ridden a trike before after 56 years on two wheels; it took a few days to start getting used to it. Now; after 9 months and 3000 plus miles, I am enjoying it more every time I take it out. The bike only had 18,000 miles on it when I got it, and was in great shape. I had new tires installed, tune up, all fluids changed and a new battery. Since arthritis of the knees and spine, plus peripheral neuropathy from diabetes was going to park me, this bike came along just in time. Hope my old '02 Lowrider is enjoying it's new home.....
