Back in 1985 or 1986 when Polaris made their first quads, they also made a trike. I remember flipping one doing a wheelie (fond memories). Must be a bit of a collectors item as I don't think many were made. Just curious if any of those trikes are still around.

 

I believe they were known as Scramblers (long before the newer 4 wheel Scrambler series came out). I wouldn't hold out hope for finding one. Polaris was pretty bad with it's relability back then. The last I heard they were fast as heck in a straight line, but wouldn't turn worth a darn. If you find one, chances are it will be sitting in a garage sitting unused for many years.

 

I found this 3 wheeler site Polaris Scrambler Trike
Hope it helps, but if you are looking to find one I'd have to agree with Mike.

 

WE HAD A 1985 POLARIS CALLED A CYCLONE..THINK IT as a three wheeler..[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Polaris made both a Scrambler and a Cyclone 3-wheeler. The Scramblers were pretty much like any other 3-wheeled ATV, except they were a two-cycle. They DID set new standards for performance. I still see a couple of them around every once in a while. A guy not too far from me has one or two he keeps running just for old times sakes.
The Cyclone was a different bird. It came from the factory ported, and with a tuned pipe, and fairly aggressive clutch kit. They were made both in 3 and 4 wheeled form, with the 3-wheeler being quite rare (If you have one, don't sell it too cheap!) Also, contrary to popular belief, the Cyclone 3 and 4 wheelers would run with anything factory out there at the time, including the almighty Honda 250R. It didn't handle as well (the 4-wheeler came closer than the 3) and didn't have as good of suspension, but stock for stock, would hold with them, except maybe on an MX track. In a straight line, they would leave them behind. I think they only made the 3 wheeled version one year, and never had the time to get the handling down quite right, but the last Cyclone 4-wheelers made were actually pretty good fun quads, but were never really designed for MX.

 

yeah they were 250 Scramblers. we have 2. they're almost 20 years old. but still run good.
