Ever ride a truly amazing trike?

[Tom Trike]

After 11 days and 149 times this question has been viewed, not one person replied that they had ridden a truly amazing trike.

Watch our Cheetah video.

Again we invite those interested in trikes to schedule your Cheetah test-ride. Maybe it's time that you come to Charlestown, Indiana and test-ride a Cheetah. We think most, if not all of you who come and take a test-ride will find out the Cheetah is more amazing than you imagined. If you're not ready to buy a Cheetah now, no problem, you'll not only tell others how amazing the Cheetah feels, sounds, rides, performs, handles and how easy it steers, you'll remember your Cheetah test-ride whenever you get ready to buy your next trike.

Thanks and we hope you call us, come visit us and ride an amazing Cheetah.

Almost every day! Rode Snarley to the grocery in town, and had a guy follow me, 8 miles until I parked, just to ask about my conversion setup!

 

[Woolie]

Its a long way from Texas to Indiana for a test ride, but if I ever head that direction I will probably call for that test ride. Its a good looking trike.

 

[Bruce]

Hey Tom, it would be nice if you had a couple at Maggie Valley this year so we could test ride them ---- they are great looking trikes !!!

Thanks for the compliment on the Cheetah. We'd love to meet you and we think you'd love the Cheetah test-ride.

Bruce,
We went last year and loved it. Thanks for the compliment on the looks of the Cheetah. Maggie Valley is further from New York than our Cheetah Mfg. Facility. We will try to make it this year but we will have to be caught up on our customer ordered Cheetahs. It seems like the days are just not long enough.

Charlestown, Indiana is 12 miles from Louisville, Kentucky. You might check with us just before The Rally in the Valley and if we are unable to go down, you could come by our shop on your way to the Rally or on your way back home. That way you can not only ride a Cheetah, we'll give you the 10-cent tour of the shop and you'll see what goes into one of these Cheetahs, also.

Have a great day and we hope to meet you some day.
Thanks

Yes Every day I own a Boss Hoss Sierra truck body Trike 350 V-8 Small block With 3 Speed auto trans With Park and Rev. She is a 2011 Passion Purple and Champagne with an orange flame.I have put 14500miles on the clock. she has air ride and is very very good and fun to ride. go to a Boss Hoss dealer and test ride one you will want to have one either Two Wheeler/Three 57chevy,32 coupe, or the Gangasta trike. Have a safe ride every time.

My Daily driver is one! Olds Toronado FWD-based, it has a 358 C.I. Olds 325 hp V8, 4-speed OD automatic transaxle, independent rear suspension, disk brakes, handles like a sports car. It's very comfortable to ride, very stable, and I never see myself coming down the road. The weight over the rear axle instead of on the front forks makes for a very good ride, and I don't have to worry about a radiator hose or fuel line leaking and spraying dangerous fluids in my face. This is my third FWD-based trike, and I love 'em!:10:

 

[Bruce]

Well we left Maggie Valley and headed to Charlestown to check out the Cheetah trikes, Tom and Chilita welcomed us with open arms, gave us the grand tour of the shop and answered about a million questions. Then we went for a ride --- WOW -- I've ridden a lot of trikes and conversions but nothing compares to the handeling (and power) the Cheetah has --- you really need to check them out in person.

(by the way if anyone is looking for a real good 2010 Tri-Glide give me a shout)

 

[Nana]

So Bruce, when will we see pictures of you on your new Cheetah?

As soon as the tri-glide is gone

I agree.

Is those just straight headers?? Looks like you would inhale a lot of fumes at low speeds and stop lights.

Since there are 5 on each side and the engine is V8, I'm guessing they're fake.

 

[RSW]

It could have 10 on each side coming out of the square exhaust block and still be straight pipes.

 

[chromedome1964]

You are very correct RSW. I looked at the video again and see what you are saying. It does look like they are using a log type exhaust manifold so they could put as many as they wanted. Regardless, to me it just feels wrong to have 5 on each side of a V8....

Didn't sound fake to me - those trikes are loud!!!

Tom, do you have a list of states they're legal? I live in MA, & there are no mufflers on the trike, so I wonder if they'd exceed the "noise limits" here & prevent the ability to register one. Wondered if any of your customers might have mentioned it at all.

Cheri,
We have different levels of mini-muffler inserts we use in the different exhaust headers we offer customers. No matter which one of the many engines our customers choose for their Cheetah, they choose from one of our 3 sound levels (louder, mild or quieter) to have the sound level they like best. If you want a Cheetah and are concerned about the sound limits in your State, we have a sound meter to make sure your Cheetah is not over that limit. Some of our Cheetah owners chose quieter sound levels, but most Cheetah owners prefer the mild or louder sound levels. Even with the louder baffles, they are really only loud when you give it a lot of throttle. Just cruising they are not real loud.

 

[spiritdream]

Thanks for the info, Tom - will definitely pass on the info!

 

[spiritdream]

Actually - one more question. Looking at the video, I don't see any backup lights when you put it into reverse. Did I miss something? I've watched it a few times now....

 

[Papa Zook]

There were several Cheetah Trikes at the MV rally and the owners I talked to loved their Cheetahs. Good to see a member who is a new convert.

 

[Tom Trike]

Thanks Bazooka, I wish we could have made it to this year's Rally. We sure enjoyed it last year.

[easymoney]

way too much trike for me. the 10 exhaust pipes threw me also. the base price is lower than i expected for that much trike.

In the video what mufflers (baffles) are you using? Medium?

 

[Tom Trike]

Stephen,
I think the Cheetah in our video was closest to the medium sound level. The sound of the Cheetah in the video could have also been adjusted a little up or down to balance with the volume of the voice-over, making the video. That Cheetah may have been a little over the medium level, but not much. What also has a lot to do with how loud a Cheetah sounds, is how aggressively the driver accelerates. Driving it real easy, the Cheetah sounds pretty mild. The harder you twist the throttle the louder it tells on you. The size engine also plays a big part in what we can do about the sound level. The higher the cubic-inches of the chosen engine, the more difficult it can be to get them into the "quieter to medium" sound level without thwarting some of its high-performance. More horsepower needs more breathing ability (less back pressure). But we are able to get our higher horsepower engines down around the medium level. I just have to let customers who want lots of horsepower, that they need to let us make their Cheetah have at least medium sound levels to allow the horsepower a sufficient exit route.
I'm sorry I didn't have a short version of that answer for you, but I hope that helped.
Thanks for your interest in our Cheetahs.
Praise God and follow Jesus.

Tom after talking to many salespeople in the business world who don't know squat about their products I thought that was an excellent answer. You didn't know my experience level in mechanical things so you answered in a way all here could understand. Tell Chilita I said howdy. :wave4:

Stephen,
Thank you for having taken the time to read that long-winded previous reply of mine. And Chilita said hey to you.
If you are ever up our way, give us a heads-up and come visit.

yep

 

[drumdoctor]

I rode 2 great trikes---they belong to friends of mine in Orlando.
The 1st is a VW trike that is REALLY quick and responsive.
It is an 1835 cc WITH a torbo and no waste gate.
Right at 200 HP.

The second is a rear engine, V8 trike.
It has a FWD Buick 350 with a mild build up.
One mechanic rated the engine at 300 HP.
This trike is STUPID FAST.

Both of these were built by "Woody"

A real triker who helps out other trikers.
He once drove almost 4 hours to rescue a fellow triker.
He made a carrier that fits into his trailer hitch.
He loaded the broken-down trike into his carrier and towed the trike and owner all the way from south Fort Myers to Orlando.

One triker helping another triker.

 

[Jimmer]

Yeah... I think I've got a pretty good one. A little unconventional, BUT handles like a Corvette and you can ride it all day long and be ready for more.
