Tow Pac and double darkside test ride

Just got back from my first test ride with a double darkside setup and my Tow Pac InstaTrike kit... Running double darkside and the Tow Pac is a MAJOR inprovement over the standard setup...

The darside setup normally yields a softer ride and with the Tow Pac kit on, the ride is quite pleasurable... The steering to me felt easier than the standard setup too - don't have any idea as to why that would be, but that is what it felt like to me... A little more riding is in order to verify that...

Now, if the double darkside setup actually results in increased tire mileage, that will complete the reason we went down this road in the first place...

Hi, How is your Towpac feeling when on smooth roads. Mine feels a little bumpy, it definitely is the kit, not my bike. Any suggestions for me to check? Will be posting pic of Trike tomorrow. Thanks!

Two suggestions LouLou,

Check the downforce on the wheels... It should be such that when you grab the wheel and tug upward you should just be able to move it with a moderate amount of effort...

The other thing I would do is to air down to your trike tires to at least 40PSI and maybe even a bit lower... Try those two forst and see how it feels...
