    womans view> The first trike i ever rode was a 185s. I loved it cus i could pull it off myself with out pulling my arm out. The bf wanted to show me how to shift so he showed me on his 200x. He told me that all i have to do is listen to the motor and count. I know its silly but i had never driven a trike or even a standard car. The whole lesson went as follows. hed kick it off id try and put it in first gear and it would die. it happened like 10x i could see his teeth grinding cus it had so much compression i couldn't kick it off myself . So after that day i got the hang of it and i wasn't stalling out anymore. But i couldn't take it far cus if i did happen to stall i would be pushing the damn thing back. So yes i agree with the auto 200x (electric start) guys (cus it would be easy to start and she would look mean and tough on it). And eventually if she wants to learn to shift be a nice hubby and show her.

    If you can't fix it with a , its an electrical problem.

    Maybe you should post some pics of the wife... That way we could make better suggestions! (just kiddding) (unless you do...)
    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

    I'd lean towards the SX, chicks dig reverse and electric start. Unless she's 4 ft nuttin and 89 lbs. , she should be aight on it while learning the ropes.
    86' 200x- for the wife
    86' 200x- for when I wreck the wife's
    85' 350x- for the man paying the bills
    85' 350x- almost too nice to ride
    03' Honda 250ex for the 10 yr old
    04' kazuma 50 quad- for the 4yr old to cruise around the yard on

    03' F350 4x4 CC LB 7.3 TD, too many mods to list
    03' Excursion EB, 4x4 7.3 TD, wife's ride
    78' F250 4x4 supercab long bed highboy- toy hauler
