    200 m compared to a 200 s

    so I have owned a few 200m's they are lots of fun, classic hard tail fun. I was wondering how they compare to the 200s in power, handling, speed. the only difference that i know of is that they are a bit smaller a lighter. I just sold my 200m and i want it back but i was thinking of replacing it with a 200s

    The 200s is a small, bare bones trike. No electric start like the 200m, and dougspcs said the tire size is different but i never noticed.

    I always thought of it as like an trike thats a in the middle of sport/utility. You could build it either way by putting racks, trailer hitch, or other performance parts.

    the weight to power ratio of the 200S is surprisingly better. Also they are geared very different. The 200M feels much less torquey at the bottom end. I would think this is from the larger tires and wheels (more unsprung wieght). That and the seat difference of the 200S and ergonomics makes it feels sportier and much more flickable.
