Hello,

Does anyone know about these little 3 wheelers? Are they rare or no?

I was thinking about inquiring about this machine. It looks like it's in decent shape from the picture. If I could get it for $200 then I may pick it up.

Thank you for your opinions.

They are fairly rare,as with most of our beloved machines.. that ones def rough. If it runs and drives,,it is worth $200. Check the tank for rust,engines compression. Bearings,brakes,,etc.. Neat little buggies. If you haven't seen one,,you will be very surprised at just HOW small these lil guys are!

Talk to thestud25, he is the self proclaimed alt50 guy. He has several of them and knows about them.

wow, those plastics sure are hodge-podged together. little rough, but if it runs and is 100% mechanical-wise then $200 is a good deal IMO. although $300 is all around fair price i think also. :beer
small? those things are downright micro. i thought the zinger was small till i got a good look at an alt50. :lol:

agreed, stud can give better oipinion/input about it.

I have on of these and live in NH. I rebuilt mine from the ground up. I too saw this one on craigslist about 4 months ago and was going to by it but we could never set up a time to meet and I just forgot about it. Saw it yesterday posted again. Guy seams real cool but will not budge on the price. Here is a pic of mine all rebuilt.

Decent little trike. If the front fender is not cracked or broken, and it runs and drives fine, $300 is a fair price. You can still get new rears in yellow, but they are pricey($157 ish). They are really simple to work on and maintain. If you pick it up post some better pics!!
