This is for anybody with a belt drive trike of any brand bike that is using the Motor Trike Kit. I'm trying to decide if I should keep my setup or just bite the bullet and buy a Harley factory built trike.
May 2015 at 3000 miles my right rear wheel bearing locked up. Motor Trike covered it under warranty and replaced a bunch of other parts that may have been affected. No complaints about their actions but I was still down for 5 weeks.
March 2017 at 19000 miles I lost all power to the rear wheels. I thought it had slipped out of gear but that is not the case. The belt turns the pulley but the axle doesn't turn. Coasts really good like that though.
So now it is currently in the shop waiting for repairs and will probably be down for another month.
Both incidents happened while I was in 6th gear with cruise control set at 70mph on the interstate. I don't believe that is the issue though.
Is anybody else having issues like this or have I just possibly purchased a lemon? I really like the unit but I need something with dependability and serviceability nation wide. If I have a fluke then maybe I can work it out. But if this is pretty common then I will be getting rid of it. I just need some opinions please.
