On Earth right now. That can change at any time, t
Hey Guys,

For those who do not know, I am a KMX trike dealer. I was thinking, with the group buy for Astro motors accumulating orders, I thought it would be good to offer a KMX trike group buy, or at least a sale on individual KMX trikes. I have shipped a few at a discount to some friends already, so I thought I would extend that discount to you guys. So, here is what I am thinking;

I can offer 10% off any trike. There is not a huge markup on these things, but enough to offer 10% and still make the shipping time worth my while. :)

The most popular trike is the Typhoon. The Tornado is popular too, but it come with plastic wheels which are not as strong as the spoked Typhoon wheels. So, I normally recommend the Typhoon. :)

Anyway, there is normally $60 in shipping charges that apply to each KMX trike ordered from KMX directly. But, you would pay that anyway unless you live near a KMX dealer. Most shipping for these newer trikes (smaller box than the older ones) is about $60 from me to teh customer as well. So, a Typhoon is normally $1,100 minus 10% (=$990), plus $60 shipping to the continental US would be $1,050 total. A $1,500 model would be $150 off, but still the same $60 shipping. See how that works?

Anyway, the KMX importer was sold out of trikes for a while, but I just got an email that they are in stock.

Anyone who wants a trike will paypal me (or give me a credit card number) and I will order their trike. KMX does NOT drop ship. So, unfortunately, the trike will ship to me, then I will ship to you. It is a little cumbersome, but it works OK.

I figure this thread can run for a few days while I compile orders, then they will be ordered and, once I recieve them, they will ship out to each customer.

So, who is interested in a trike?

Matt, do you still have the 2006 "X class"? also, what model does x class correspond to, the plastic wheeled tornado, or the spoked Typhoon?
Thanks
 
I still have one KMX X-class (2006 model) trike in stock. That trike was built and ridden a few miles to get the feel for it.

The X-class corresponds to the Cobra. The Cobra is a $1,539 trike (plus shipping)! The reason the Cobra comes closest is because the X-class comes with a triple chainring arrangement and a 24 inch rear wheel.

Anyway, the X-class would be $900 shipped to the lower 48. It will probably ship in two HUGE boxes. I do not have the original box anymore. So, I will ahve to hunt a couple boxes down that could fit all the parts. :)

Got the trike, I like it a lot!

I did notice that its very narrow for me (I have 56" shoulders) looks like mom was right when she said "Big Boned" lol

Its a breeze to pedal and seems to just somehow be faster effort for effort.

Heres what I dont like:

Like I said, I am real wide across the shoulders (plus plain old fat) and my arms wind up pretty close to the wheels (got the razzberry to prove it)

I think I may go for a catrike, I can get a deal on one, anyone in FL want my X Class? id sell it for the same 900 I paid (I have since taken it to a bike shop and paid 100 for assembly and tuning.
 
I have a Catike. They are just as narrow. The seat is wider, though. They also have a lower weight limit than the KMX.

I feel your pain. I love trikes, but finding the right one is tough some times. :)

Hello all, Im getting closer to a first drive on my highway capable trike, need a 96v drive system, so the KMX x class has to go, it only has about 5 more miles on it then when I got it from Matt

methods said:
Trike riders - please be aware that running a hall throttle can be very dangerous.
It is recommended that you run a Magura or thumb type throttle.

Hard riding + hall throttle could = uncontrollable trike

-methods

Easy fix, mount a half grip hall throttle upside down over the front derailleur shifter, allows shifting and throttle use and no danger of pulling apart.
 
Ebaying my KMX, looks like it will go for a good price...
