    I will keep my pair of RS BRPs. I guess my wife and I could have bought 4 of those instead of two but I think we made the right choice! Best money we have ever spent. Now she wants an RT and I want an F3T, but that is a ways off lol!

    Hi Bob,
    Do you know why they're not legal in all 50 States?
    Is it the emissions package?

    It's safety and emissions. Ca, Ny and a few others have stricter emissions and safety certifications than other states.

    I saw one of these a few years ago in a suburb of Illinois. It definitely looked the part of cheaper knock off compared to the true Spyder.

    Big plus, no Can Buss, and no Nanny. Really not a bad idea. You just break down in place of limp mode. What a great idea!
    Happy New Year Ya'll!

    So with all of the "upgrades & improvements"; I guess that it's unfair to call it "JUNK"...

    Now; it's "JUNQUE"!

    These things hit my radar before the Can-Am's did, so I called and got some info. You basically buy a box you can't test, and maintenance was a mystery (not to mention performance). China may well be able to make a great three wheeler, but nothing made me think this was anything more than an toy for roaming the neighborhood.

    I'm just glad that I hunted further and found Spyders - I had not idea these were knock-offs when I first saw them.

    A "toy" for the 25 mph crowd; that's all!
