Mystery trikes detective work

[MattDragontamer]

Hey everyone, it's been a while.

So I have been working on collecting and researching the various trikes of all makes and models and I have come accross a few that I need help finding information and identifying. I am slowly building up Threewheelermanuals.com with the info as I get it.
I have 6 totes of manuals and documents that I need to find time to scan, clean up and post.

So, here are a few that I have been struggling to find info on.
(Will be posted as it's own reply to this thread)

The Sport-King Trike

The last image is of a snapshot I took of a site that had some info on on it about the Sport-King Trike / 3 Wheeler.
I can't seem to find that site again... anyone know? Brown back ground...

If anyone had more pics of this machine, rhat would be great as well.

Unknown Blue PMD Trike

Apparently the only marking on it is on the tank and says "PMD".

Purple Mean Machine

The sticker says "Mean Machine", Purple body colour, turn signals front and back, rounded body over engine area with large hole.

It seems to have a similar front end with lights as the Bonham Super Gote and the embedded oval for the sticker is on the side of the body.

Update: So after close inspection, I am going to take a shot in the dark and say that this is probably a prototype Super Gote that was probably a two seater design. I haven't found a two seater gote pic anywhere. The front, frame and engine are all Super Gote. The body is the only difference.

Blue snow trike

Purple White trike

270750270751270752270753

Alot of people seem to point it out as a scat... however the body just dosen't seem to match... i was comparing it to there similar trikes, but just can't seem to nail it down.

Update: I am pretty sure this is the "as advertised" Mini Scat Tracker. The main features and body matches. I have yet to find another picture of the mini Scat Tracker as shown... nvm found one...

Thiokol Chemicals / DMC / LMC Terra-Cycle

Not much info on it at all...

You're really diving in to the difficult stuff. Keep up the good work. It's really going to help someone out.


That one picture though, with the guy in the suit and his...unique facial hair...trike proctologist?

A shaved noggin would've had him looking pretty awesome though.

[MattDragontamer]

Yea I have 6 totes of papers to scan for the site. I am working on the Tiger stuff too, but time will tell if those I asked will produce.

Little red trike

270777

I saw this listed as Manco, and though it looks like one, it's missing the rear tool box, the tank and front end is different. It also looks smaller in size.

[MattDragontamer]

Heald looking, but not a Heald...
And not an Avenger 1/4t.

Nice work Matt! That blue "snow Trike" looks like it's using US90 tires which should age it around 1970 - 1974 potentially. I like that one the most.

Hey Matt, long time no see!

Some of these pictures look kind of scary, sort of like those game cam photos to pick up unidentified creatures creeping around late at night.

[MattDragontamer]

Thanks Pete, yea it struck me as an early 70's as well... however, I am unsure how long the "Balloon tires" were publicly available for...

Lol... yea well i have scolled and identified so many trikes now that I can usually figure out what it is... however, there are still some to discover and properly lable. Misslableing is very common.

This one looks like an old "hauler" we used one I was a fly-fishing guide at 30 years ago

It does look alot like it... but there are features that is telling me that it may not be.
