    Default Vertika Trikes Comfort Boards

    Hi all,

    I recently bought the comfort boards made by Vertika Trikes from Tricled.
    I found it hard to get any info, so I'm hoping this will help people looking at the same boards.
    They are reasonably easy to install, but did take a lot of mucking around! They didn't come with any instructions.
    Happy to answer any questions.

    In an emergency braking situation the OEM right floorboard latch releases to allow more than normal brake pedal throw. Does this safety feature work with the Vertika boards?

    No. But the brake has a longer reach because of the step....so i dont think it will be an issue.

    Yes, I see; shows better on your completely finished pic. The finished black really complements the champagne color.

    Too much! 😁
    I think they were USD 1650 not including postage. The killer for me was postage to Australia....About 1500 on top of that!

    Thanks. Not sure if anyone else has them over here.
    I'm happy with how it came out, but I wish i had taken up the pre painted option. I'm not overly happy with how my home bed liner paint job came out. It was a $400 option to get it painted. I will get it done professionally in the future.

    Fortunately I'm having Reggy at TricLed install them.
