Champion trike kit and EZ steer on 2005 Goldwing

You might also notice the trailer bumping/jerking the trike a little..maybe not...nothing to worry about. Just remember to allow adequate room to cut in/out/changing lanes around other vehicles in traffic. Relax..You’ll be fine.

I have been riding around North Dallas a bit every day, since I purchased it. Running errands, picking up chick-fil-a, etc.

Both HWY and urban riding.

I am really enjoying it and getting used to it. I find the trickiest part was turning and shifting at the same time. Locked handlebars makes shifting a bit tough, but I am getting used to it and smoother.

I left the trailer behind, since I had a 1 hr drive home, and it was the first time driving a trike. I need to schedule time to go back and pick it up. Any tips or cautions about pulling a trailer beyond the obvious? I have never pulled a trailer on a bike or trike before.

Nice set up there!

I had the same trailer (CycleMate CM-2000) to pull with a slightly narrower (nearly 6 inches narrower over all at least) Lehman trike, you'll hardly notice it in pulling except perhaps in acceleration or stopping, depending on load. I never shifted with the handlebars in tight turn position, there's no need to. When I drove school buses in the "Hill-city" in the '70s, I learned that once a corner of a curb passed that door, I could crank the wheel to turn. I learned that even with my narrower trike, if I made a turn, if the trike's rear inside most wheel cleared, the trailer cleared due to it's narrower profile. Trailer or No trailer, watch them gas pump islands & pole type guards with the Trike.

I picked up the trailer yesterday. It was a breeze. I did not even feel it back there. The previous owner doesnt have the barrel keys to open the trailer. It is unlocked and will not fly opened, for sure; however, I wonder what my options are here.

I would also like to upgrade the lights to LEDs on the trailer. They are pretty dim during the daytime.
