I have a 200S with a recoil starter. I had a shoulder replacement last year and I am having difficulty pulling to start. Does anyone know if it's possible to put a kick or electric starter on this machine? :pics:138006

Thanks! Swoff

ouch.
Goki makes an electric starter.
They are expensive but you can always resell it.
Try the search key.
Kicker?
I'll bet someone has tried.

I've heard they are easy to jump / bump start.
If you remember, holding the shifter down is like holding a clutch in.
and if you let off the shifter slowly, it's like slipping a clutch.

so they say pick a gear, like 2nd, hold the shifter, get it rolling and let off the shifter.

I have a hill right past my trike parking but never tried it.
Maybe next time.

If you're lucky, a correct tune 'em up can get these things to start with 1/2 pull
but I understand. I walk to my trikes with a cane so even kicking one is like watching a bad cartoon.

pretty pretty 200s.
Wonder if someone would want to trade for an electric start trike.
I personally think the hard tails are better for some situations than the full suspension e start trikes.

The 200m is electric start but not sure if enough parts could interchange to make it work.
A nice thought, however.
Someone surely knows.
