re: Experienced Trike Riders - Please post here.
Note to the people using reverse for parking;there is an electric brake lock that does two things. First of course it stops the trike from rolling, but second it also is a theft deterrent. The one I use is made by Mico, and it is a single channel fluid locking valve that is electriclly activated . easily insalled inline , locks both rear wheels and uses a toggle switch with no current draw during lockup . I have used this same valve on electric line trucks, school busess, and emergengy vehicles. I highly recommend it . It is not cheap,different valves run in the $300.or higher bracket. But I know I don't have to worry about my scoot rolling down a hill or breaking any starters.Plus, when it is locked it takes that much longer for someone else to figure out how to be able to move the trike when they don't know where the switch is placed.
