I have never been married to any vehicle, but the Eco-Exo will be the exception. I just have way to much fun with it to consider selling. However, "Never" is an abstract term measured by the fun index. When I take out the Eco-Exo, it is an absolutely perfect day filled with some great scenery, mountain roads, and fantastic places to eat. I usually ride with a very good friend (seen on my TR1KE threads). I have the Eco-Exo equipped with a CB radio that is modified for helmet headset. I am not a Massachusetts Native. I am a transplant from Lewiston Idaho. I have to admit, I never get tired of the wonderful scenery New England has to offer. There are thousands of roads, highways, byways and back roads that keep me in my Eco-Exo and soon to be TR1ke. I plan on some long range driving in my TR1ke. Maybe a couple of thousand miles or so. Florida is a good destination and I know the gulf water is a deep aqua blue and the sand on the beaches are as white as sugar. So, selling my Eco-Exo is not part of my current plans. The TR1KE promises to deliver as much fun, more power and a place for a passenger. I hope this covers the spirit behind my building both trikes, and keeping both. It is something I do to enjoy my life. I will soon be 68 years old and I plan on LIVING the remainder of my life with large helpings of enjoyment. Build it like it was illegal - Ride it like you stole it! Roger Worcester, Massachusetts Thumbs up, what a great way to enjoy the tr1ke. |

I am writing this because ....well, maybe one or more of the silent Eco-mev owners might just by accident read this post and decide to share his or her experience with their trike. I have to admit, the kit I built was a joy to figure out and build. It is also a lot of fun to drive. It feels as though it is wrapped around you. I have to say it is quite rugged and has been very reliable. What it isn’t is stylish. It is in fact the opposite of futuristic or forward styled. I guess “Retro Reverse” fits quite well... with its tucked under nose and mini front wings. Something George Jettson might like back in the 60’s... when all the great styles had fins... you know, every once and awhile a person needs a “flight of fancy” on something he really doesn’t need, but simply wants.... the Eco-Exo fits this niche for me quite well.
It would be good to know where all the EcoExo trikes are. As I have said in previous posts, there are 6 in the US. Two in Colorado, one in a Texas, one in Wisconsin, one in Pennsylvania and mine in Massachusetts. I know the names of four of the US builders.. counting me of course. The remaining two in Colorado never logged their build progress.
I have said many times, I enjoy my hobbies and thoroughly enjoy the completed results, both with the small Eco-Exo and the larger TR1ke. So, if you own any of the missing Eco-Exo trikes, stop by and let everyone know how you are doing.
The Best of the summer to ya..

Roger, IF you have Fred's phone number give him a call and let him have my cell number.
I need just 1 chassis to do a mock up and then I could maybe pop out 1 or two copies a year. It would be with Stuart Mllls blessings of course. I just know I can not do 5 or 6 per year, but is there even a demand for two per year?

Dave. That is a good question.... you are in the unique position to find out. You know, it really doesn't need to be an Eco-Exo. Design your own, slap a 2007 or newer Burgman motor in it and "Bob's Yer Uncle" you've got a trike... it doesn't need to be complicated, or exotic.... I just needs to work....
