which reverse trike
 
which reverse trike
I am looking at the DF50TKC
the pros are
no motorcycle license
at 50CC I am less likely to bite off more then I can chew
its new with a parts warranty
they will deliver it to my house

cons questionable build quality some people on youtube really seem to like theirs and some people have had front end problems on the 150
not self balancing

2010 MP3
the pros are faster able to ride on more roads
self-balancing no need to put feet on the ground at the light
name brand
cons
its used parts might be hard to come by
need a motorcycle license
because its capable of going faster more likely to get myself in trouble

not sure what I should do here

A 50cc trike will not give you more than 30-35 mph. That really limits the number of roads you can safely travel.
-A reverse trike has a braking advantage over two wheel scoots. You have two front wheels to provide braking.
-the DF50 will not be as reliable as the MP3. You can expect occasional electric problems with the DS50 that you will need to troubleshoot. My 2 cents.

Thank for your input I knew the 50 isnt that fast my big fear about its lack of power is driving uphill limiting it even more

I like the design of the 50 but if it going to struggle and not be reliable then I need to face facts and walk away

You can always upgrade the 50 with a big-bore kit or even swap the entire engine, once you gain confidence.
