Welcome to the site! The 200ES is my favorite, i have had many models over the years but my old 200ES is still the workhorse and toy i love the best.

thanks everyone for the friendly greeting. =)

jimthetruckdriv- i'll watch for that next time. its a force of habit for me. thanks for letting me know. i got the pic on by going to the go advanced button at the bottom of the screen and clicked the attachment button just under the title bar and went from there.

kb0nly- its a great trike.=) the only thing i wish it had was rear shock. these potholes here get pretty rough when its just straight frame. lol

Oh i know, the hardtails are rough on ya, but they have their advantages to, they can haul and pull more weight with ease, mine is my winter plow rig as well, better traction.

Make sure your back tires are set low, 3-5 psi, thats your suspension on these. I have my rear tires around 3 psi for general riding to take the roughness out, and up to 5 psi for plowing and hauling.
