Rear Wheels Steer Tricycle

Rear Wheels Steer Tricycle FARM HOME recreation 25-6-30 If your kids are into power turns on their tricycles, the new Tig'r Tail is just what they need. This rear wheel steer, pedal- powered machine is more stable than front-steer trikes. The Tig'r Tail makes quick, tight turns without loss of speed or tipping over. Rather than handlebars, it steers with two joy stick-type levers. This new trike is the brainchild of Lee Shafer, Overton, Nebraska, who patented the design. He formed Kidster LLC to market it and has contracted Delux Mfg. Co., Kearney, Nebraska, to make it. It features a square steel tube T-frame, wide pneumatic tires front and back, and a sturdy, comfortable seat that can be adjusted to fit most kids up to 110 lbs. The Tig'r Tail tricycle is 40 in. long, 27 in. wide, and weighs approximately 47 lbs. Its knobby tread tires ensure good traction in gravel, grass and loose dirt. It sells for $249, plus $25 for shipping and handling. Dealer inquiries welcome.
