I think I may have found a tri-zinger for sale. I am 5'10". I know this is a very small trike, but is it something I could have a good time with in the yard or ice covered ponds. Also, what do people think of them and are they kind of rare or what? Any thoughts and opinions appreciated.
thanks

I owned one for my 5 year old. I putted around on it some, but they are very small with tiny axles. I would think that if you road it very hard you would break an axle easy. They are not rare. They are good running little things and very peppy for only a 60cc auto trans.

He's not sure. I think he's in the process of fixing it up a little, so he'll probably want too much. What would be a fair price for a runner average shape?

Mmy neighbor has one and i love it. i'm about 5'10, 180 and it pulls the front wheel up with ease. Tell us the condition and price and we'll tell you if its a deal or not. good luck

They are a very fun little trike! One of my friends has one and I ride my Honda 70 with him. It is a little bit smaller then the honda but at that point it doesn't matter anyways :cool: . It is very easy to wheelie with them, even easier then with the honda, but that is because you have just about all the weight on the back tires.

They are just about the same speed as the Honda 70. I lined my 70 up with my friends zinger and they were both next to each other for about 300', then I shifted into 4th and pulled away. We are both about the same size and weight, we also switched trikes and had the same results. I would guess a zinger woud top out around 25mph or so, which when you are on a trike that small it flying.
