I asked her again and she is pretty set on the auto. She wont be a hard core rider. she just wants to ride. I was looking at the hp rating and it looks like the power to wieght ratio is 22 pounds to the horse on the Vbike vs. 42 pounds to the horse on my Marshin. That is almost twice the power!

 

Dont look at hp numbers...youll go crazy. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Buy your wife the 150 and she will be happy. The nice thing about the auto 150 is its virtually unstoppable and you cant stall the engine either.

 

I use the 150 utility to move my 7 X 12 trailer in and out if my back yard. Two us struggled before trying to push that trailer uphill and back in through my gate.

I welded a receiver onto the front of my wifes 150.The 250 has the power but slipping the clutch and stalling didn't sound good to me. I figured the automatic would be alot easier to use with the trailer. Wasn't sure if it would have enough power to do it but it did it with no problem at all! Here is a couple of pics of the receiver hitch.

 

That awsome Colorado.nice job.

 

Thanks Kman. I could barely move my old smaller trailer by myself, and now the new bigger trailer is impossible for one person. I'm really impressed by that 150.

 

Are you sure thats your wifes bike?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Or at least she thinks it is....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

She just thinks it is.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Ordered the Vbike last Friday. The wife chose black and it should be here on Thursday. Hope to get my trailer going by then.

 

Thats great ghcoe, let us know what you think of it when it get it all together.

 

Got the VBIKE Friday. Picked it up at the freight depot a little after 11 in the morning. I inspected the unit before I signed the papers and the guy that loaded it up for me had all kinds of questions about it. He couldn't believe I got this new quad for $1100.oo with shipping after he saw it. Started to assemble it at noon and was driving it by 2:30. My wife was tickled pink about it. I think this is the first time she helped me through a whole project that was mechanically oriented. Needless to say she loves it and it will kick my Marshins butt off the line. I can catch her, but it takes a bit. My kids like it better than mine too. They think it looks cool.

Hope to get all the quads out for a ride next Wednesday. Got my trailer finished and they are loaded up ready to go. We would have made it out Friday, but our helmets did not arrive. Bummer, now I have to wait till after the work week...
