I believe my hood latch has come unhooked or broken. Cant get hood open. Any suggestions on getting hood open?

Welcome to Trike Talk Johnnyu.
Can you see the latch from underneath somehow? Maybe jacking it up or rolling up onto a car ramp?
If so it might be possible to release it carefully using a long screwdriver or prybay without causing any "collateral damage".
Others may have the answer you need, so you might wait for a better solution than what I posted.
Best of luck on this one...

The only option is to go at it from the bottom. It is a bear to do. Just try different thing til you get one to work. Good Luck

Taking out the light switch /radio control leaves you with a backing and besides, there is a latch on both sides so it may be the right side hanging up? Go at it from the bottom and try to pull the latch open. I know it can be done as I watched the guy who sold me my Stallion do it to show me if there was a hang up.

Please let us know what Motor Trike did to unlatch. May save us a lot of headaches down the line.
