Welcome to TrikeTalk! It is a great place for you to get information. We all have our favorites for our own riding pleasure and many things enter into that choice. But one thing that the great majority agree on, is the benefit of the EZ steer or similar rake kit. Without it, the trike steering is very heavy and wears out your shoulders and arms; with it, steering feels like you have power steering. A rake kit is very much worth it!

</div>Welcome aboard. Rake kit is the ONLY way to go. You will want one eventually anyway. The trike is not any cheaper used with or without one.

Hello VP welcome to the forum.. I was in Slidell all weekend, our daughter lives there.<br />
U need to decide what kind of trike u are interested in, Harley, Goldwing,VW, etc. A lot of times people height will make a difference in the type of trike they are happy with. Some tall people are not happy with Goldwings, the other important thing is, does ,your wife intend to ride with you??? You need to make sure she is happy with the comfort of the seat she will be on and how the trikes feels from her position. EZ steer is a great asset to trikes kinda like power steering.<br />
Best of luck to you..
