It gets better as you add more trikes together but be safe. Your coupler sounds interesting. If you have an opportunity, a photo would be great. Have a great 2011!

Very cool. Do you know what do the couplers sell for?

Thanks for posting.

Top of the Morning! The Vanguard Couplers depending on Trike, costs about $55.00. I do not sell these. Vanguard is a specialized industrial type machine shop but the owner has three USX Trikes as well.

The coupler is the Equalizer. You both arrive together and you have a ball. Just make sure you get two coupler's because other delta trikes will want to join in the train. Don't hesitate to contact me, if you have any questions. Enjoy

We bought the trikes and I made a coupler from a 300 lb. capacity swivel castor, a piece of steel plate, a steel handlebar stem and a front hub w/ quick release. I paid a local welder $20 to weld the parts together.

As you say, It's lots of fun.

Cheers

Like, this video is hosed because it's a 16:9 widescreen image horizontally squeezed (and distorted) into a standard 4:3 frame. Way to go, babe!

Thanks for the rapid reply! I'm thinking of buying two delta trikes w/ the idea of training them together for rides w/ the wife. It looks like a lot of fun and it ensures that we'll always ride together!
