    P3 x2!

    Picked up another P3 this past Friday. This one is for me to ride while I'm restoring my other one (which will be a while). It runs really good-starts in a few pulls even in this cold weather. Has a lot of the same issues my other one did-rusty rims and axle, stiff brake cables. I was really happy when I saw the ad and saw that it had the Tank emblems-but it turned out that only one side has em; oh well I'll have to order some Howdy repo's. Has an electrical issue-none of the handle bar controls work, only way to kill the engine is to choke it out; I haven't looked into it yet, just been having fun with it for the moment. Got it for $380 which I think is a good deal-paid $530 for both of my P3's and both were runners, first one not quite as nice as this second one. I took a pic of them next to each other, even though my other one is mostly torn down. On to the pics:

    Congrats!! My boy had his out yesterday and ended up pushing it back to the shop ( after 1 hr of riding ). He broke the throttle cable. I will be looking into fixing this cable as they are costly to replace.

    Yeah my x is still my favorite but I really like the p3 as well. It's cool to have a trike that anyone can ride. Full auto electric start and reverse make it easy for anybody to ride. And I'm happy most of the parts are easy to get. I was kinda missing having a utility trike especially now that I live on 10 acres.
    I plan on getting a hitch from tractor supply that I can pull the garden trailer around with.

    Mine has a hitch, we tug the bike hauler to the back of the property with it instead of backing up the whole driveway. Makes it a lot easier

    Warmed up to 42 degrees yesterday and it was starting to get muddy around my barn so I put the P3 to work! I had to build up that area with dirt this winter so with no grass there yet it's just a mess. As soon as spring hits I'll be putting down a lot of grass seed. But for in the mean I just built myself a little path way to the barn. Nothing some cedar chips and the P3 can't handle!
