Popular trikes in SA

Postby Sideslip » Mon Nov 01, 2010 11:37 am

Hi all.

Any input here will be appreciated:

As a guess, what would you say the top 5 most popular Trike models being flown in SA are and why?

What makes these particular models popular and what do you like/dislike about them?

Solo wings and Aerotrike are very popular.You can get spares local,and it is easy to resale.

Thanks for response.

When choosing a trike to purchase, what are key selling points besides those mentioned above?

Comfort?
Ergonomics?
Performance?

Usually BUDGET...

What you wanna do with it.

GT450, Revo or the Appolo Jet are waaaay cool, but cost REAL bucks...

Almal vergeet die nuwe Aeros by Petit. Daar is wel net een in SA, maar baie gewild in die buiteland.
