    hahaha are you a door knob? wheelers don't have steering wheels, that would be dumb. it is dumb to even think of steering wheels and wheelers bahahaha. and obviously your problem is warped rim, bearings, or balance or wrong tire pressure, not that you balance 3 wheeler tires but yea. good luck with steering wheels bud!

    Hey Mate.

    Sounds to me like your front wheel bearings are trashed. I had the same problem with my trike.

    I saw your atc500 over at .org. What a awesome trike, I bet she rips!!!!

    Gasmask... I have seen several things contribute to that. One being the bearings. Also seen bent front axle,steering stem bearings, bent forks, bent wheel, or even just a worn or unbalanced tire. Forks, axle, and bearings are easy to check out. Good luck, hope you get it sorted out.

    Gasmask...I get high speed wobbles alot on my streetbike and its caused by a powerful motor pulling weight off the front end, transfering it to the rear and when the weight shifts back to the front and your front tire isn't perfectly straight it will start to high speed wobble. The worst thing you can do is try to correct it. Loosen up your grip on the bars and let it correct itself. Its a freaky feeling the first few times it happens. I've never seen this happen on a trike but I'm sue its possible with your setup.
