Bike motor kits, then trike motor kits were our first products. We've been making these kits since 1973 and some of our first electric power kits are still running. Mounting of a power kit requires the front fork have a drilled hole above crown of fork going from front to back.. (Fender brackets on many trikes have this hole for the fender mount bracket.) Not required for Joyrider models since mounting is on the rear. All kits carry warranties. These bicycle motor and tricycle motor power kits provide penny a mile transportation.
