TGV customer service is absolutely terrible. I bought their frame and it cost me about 1k in parts to build myself. You’re pretty spot on with everything you’ve described around riding the TGV trike.
Through my findings this is actually a common thing with them. I actually dealt with them the other day and just even trying to buy a bike was a huge nightmare! Took it as a sign and did more research and went a different route.
Was really looking into TGV but after going into the website, I notice the attitude and a bit cocky and rude specially, towards a customer willing to provide them support. Thanks to this video I convince to turn around and go elsewhere
Deff agree with the attitude & the cockiness,tbh I don’t think those guys will last long anyways they came out cocky but leaving with an attitude lol they are over rated
This video plus other research I had done lead me to buying a SFD trike. Really happy when people out there do reviews and give out this info to the public. Sucks about the TGV bike a lot of people had the same issue Big Send Little Send went through. Thank you for putting out his video and comparing the two trikes helped me in my choice and ordered my trike shortly after finding this video! Can't wait for it come get here.
NOW YOU TELL ME! LOL just got the email AS I"M WATCHING THIS VIDEO that my frame was shipped lmao. great! now i gotta find a buyer to offload it too. Thanks for the review. great job
Bro I definitely appreciate the comparison. I'm a big guy and I need those welds to be tight and reinforced. I was already leaning toward SFD. especially for the price. Great video and thanks again.
Damn! I ordered the tgv one and didn't know about the SFD. This video is hugely beneficial and super informative. Looks like I have to spend even more money trying to make it safer and upgrading the cheap parts. Thanks for being so detailed in the comparison.
Thanks for the review. I built my own with the TGV frame. I would agree with your points. TGV even raised prices on their frames now. Over 1100 for just a frame.
Great unbiased review my guy. Definitely a no-brainer for sure. Sounds like TGV is in it strictly for the cash grab and doesn't care if the customer has a good experience with it or not. Anyways, nice video comparison. I already know how long it takes to put together a video like this so good job man. I know which one I would go with!😂
Thanks for the compliment! This video took me almost a damn week to put together so I'm glad someone appreciates the time I put into it lol and yea sfd all day. I do believe their price has gone up since I made this video, but still cheaper than tgv and wayyyyy better quality.
With the carb on the green one, you could make up a nice intake manifold to run the carby under the seat to fix that filter issue. Obviously it shouldn't be that way, but hopefully that could fix your issue
I think more experienced people who have built mini bikes/karts recognize a lot of the things the TGV trike has on it as eBay items. Grips, tank, seat, brake yes - Im not sure where all the money is to justify the price. Even a generic ghost engine that would get smoked by a built 212 that costs the same amount and would have stronger internals. Idk, I still think 3k is a lot for a trike. I got 2.5 in my mini bike but thats after cosmetic mods and a stage 4 212 pumping 18+ HP. Hell maybe trikes just arent for me.
I built a copy of the TGV trike myself using pictures and screenshots of videos with the known size of certain parts as a reference to find the angles and dimensions of everything. ALL IN with tubing, a built racing engine, and upgraded EVERYTHING else it cost me $1200 and 3 weekends of my time. I changed a few things based on this video and I’m glad I did. I can’t believe they charge so much for Amazon and eBay parts and then turn around and resell them on their site for 1000% markup
Bro, greetings to you! I really want to build a copy of the TGV, but I absolutely don't know how to start with the frame...Could you help me with the dimensions?
@@user-dk6zx7hw3e hello! I personally don't have the dimensions and no longer own the tgv mini trike. But I will recommend you reconsider building an exact copy. The tgv machine did not drive very well
Your video was extremely helpful. I saw the TGVlog minibike and was thinking about getting it. I was going to either buy a used one(I found one for 4k) or order the frame. At that time the frame was 800 and I thought it was pretty steep plus shipping, but now they raised the price to 1100.....the SFD looks like a much better machine by a company that is truly trying to improve their product. I was watching some of TGVlog videos online and they turned into clickbate. The stupidest one I saw was "This Is Why We Don't Powder Coat Other Peoples Stuff! (S1:E2)" and after that I lost interest. The powder coated over finished parts and wondered why it turned out like crap. So they either are not interested in making good quality products or are incompetent to make good quality products. The big thing that sold me on the SFD was performance, I like the look of TGVlog bike a lot better but if it's unstable I'm not going to deal w/ a product that is dangerous just because it has a cooler look. Maybe their later versions will correct their numerous defects.
I'm glad you appreciated the video. I figured I had to make one, because before I bought a trike I tried to find a review video on the tgv trike and couldn't find anything except from the tgv people. At the time I bought the tgv one I didn't even realize other people were making mini trikes. It still irritates me knowing how tgv advertises their mini trike as,"the best of the best" but uses the cheapest parts they could find. I just wish I'd of found sfd first lol
Thanks for the review. I almost ordered a TGV. Definitely going SFD. What a difference in quality. I think TGV got too big too fast and quality control isn’t where it needs to be. I would hope they contact you to get it straightened out. It would be in their best interest at this point. When Looking at your reviews it appears TGV has lost some orders. Thanks for saving me some money and aggravation.
Damn dude I see your argument I'd be pissed. Especially waiting that long. I'm pissed off just watching this video. My oh my that would not fly with me. Wow. Awesome review pointing out stuff like that. The other bike is built nice. They did a fantastic job on the frame also. On the blue one that is.
I feel more comfortable riding them on gravel than asphalt tbh. No suspension so that's a bit rough, but lower tire pressure helps. And obviously the tgv one's airfilter gets destroyed lol
I’ve known about SFD for a long time since the drift trike. They just do a better job. TGV is a newer company they look like kids. They gotta go through the growing pains of doing things the right way.
There is many different tav2 out there really cheap ones and there the high price ones.. There is a big difference in the front weights and springs.. Like to see what's under the covers
To be real. I dont understand how these thibgs cost 3 to 5g's to begin with. I get labour time. But as you pointed out. The 5g bike is amazon parts. Being smart. These machines should sell for 900 to 1500 tops. Maybe a little more if you want alot of motor. Great video man!
Listen I have 3 minibikes all of which I paid under 500 for each one with ghost on the bt200x coleman one 224 on the azusa and 212 tili on my ct100 now that being said since I'm into to all for around 1200 if and when I sell I'll literally price them out for around 300 a piece now for the money u have in 2 trikes I could easily have an xr650 hell even an Africa twin rally racer I'm sorry I just don't see 5k plus unless we're talking 10 12 trikes.
If you take the front tire off and replace it with a balloon tire on the tgv it should help with the handling, you can also find a shop press and put a brass sleeve in the goose neck to tighten up the handle bars.
Not bad ideas on how to fix it. But for such an expensive machine you shouldnt have to modify it to make it work properly. I actually ended up selling my tgv trike because i was so mad about it lol
Don't get me wrong I love three wheelers but I also used to go to glamis and some time you want something a little bit scarier to compliment your quiver.
The TGV one sounds like its under water with SpongeBob and Patrick, Rotflmmffao!! Man, Whatta much better build the SFD Trike is an I think the frame looks awesome!!! No contest between the two!!!! Thank you very much!!!
It's a case of profit vs passion. Been following trike builds since the inception... The fat front tire looks cool but is somewhat useless in handling as the trike has to pitch from 3 points of contact. Head tube angle is critical & as well as a rounded front tire... Twist grip throttle suck on a "atc" style since machine control comes from arms & body movement if that makes sense.
You're the 2nd person to mention hammer trikes. I just don't know about the front setup. With the angle it's at I fear it'd drive even worse than the tgv trike.
It's almost like comparing a Honda Civic or Toyota Tacoma to a Dodge Ram or a Ford Mustang V6. The first will last forever and won't break your bank account. And the other will either be great for a few months and then start having issues or will have issues as soon as you pull off with it, and they'll die at 80,000 miles
I just build mine based on sfd frame. The motor i used is from a honda motorcycle. My question is, is it really hard to turn these things around corners? I mean, without differential axle, my build is terrible at turning. Can you give me some advice please. God Bless!
Sounds awesome! My blue sfd trike can be a touch difficult to do tight turns at low speeds. My newer green one with the updated frame works perfectly. Idk exactly how you built yours so it's hard for me to give advice on what to change...
Just tighten the bolt on tree that will help the steering I think the best over all gear is 12/53 and the vibration is in the torque converter tav2 will fix that problem
Awesome comparo! It's funny because I was even looking in to these before I saw your video and the whole vibe of TGV was weird from the start, whining about people copying them when SFD has already been doing it for years, and them trying to have this cliche reality TV style youtube channel where they all have fake dramatic lines to say to the camera. It all makes sense now, seeing all the cheap parts and poor build quality here. It's like they're just in it for fame and clout and to pump out a cheap product to make as much money as possible. The instagram clout will only last for so long if you have cheap builds and terrible customer service. Can't wait to get an SFD!!
They are both overpriced novelty bikes. They built them to do wheelies for likes on instagram. They have bronze bushings instead of actual bearings. All cheap parts wrapped into something that looks cool but shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Thanks for the video man.
@@BigSendLittleSend oh man dude, okay lol. Do you have an email? I have several lol. I’ll pay for your time too. I ordered a kit through JDs Garage. But after watching your email. I think I want to make some changes.
Hammer trike is the way to go, steer effortlessly and super high quality. I was lucky to pickup a tgv one used first for 1700 then realize it's garbage and steers horribly. Was happy to sell it for 2500 quickly and buy a hammer trike.
$7000 hahaha! What a rip off. TGV's website say this; "When you order a TGV Mini Trike (Platinum Edition), you invest in a functional artwork piece. This trike would be a fitting addition to a multi-million dollar showroom, but it would also stand up to hundreds of hours of ripping around campgrounds, parking lots, and fields with your buddies." 😂😂😂😂
One is the garage vlog, the other is sfd Industries. Sfd Industries website is riderowdy.com. should be able to find either easily with a Google search.
Like comparing apples to potatoes. One is a brand new toy you get to enjoy for 20 plus years with little maintenance money. The other you will spend 2k plus a year just to keep roadworthy lmao
Yikes TGV trike looks pretty poorly built compared to the SFD. I find it hilarious that TGV always complains about imitators building shit versions of their trikes lol
You can’t compare at all a 1,200$ trike to a 5k plus trike like really. Is like buying a Lexus and a Kia then try to compare them 😂😂😂. The 1,200$ trike leaves you room for upgrades and I guess from the price that is clear to me.
It does look like sfd has increased their prices since I made this video, which I don't blame them because they do such a good job. But tgv is still selling their trikes for $5k plus shipping and tax. So the sfd one is definitely still cheaper...
@@BigSendLittleSend Look on both of their websites right now TGV has a sale for 750 but the OG price was 2,500 and SFD if you look on their website it's 4,500?
@@BigSendLittleSend ill make more money with a truck, than i will a trike. Will the glorified big wheel, get me back & forth to work? Can i haul anything with it? Will it tow a boat or trailer? Truck ftw
@josephmcintyre752 it's just not a valid comparison imho. I agree a used truck is definitely better value for the money. But I would hope if someone was entertaining spending $5k on a damn fun toy, they definitely aren't needing a 4k truck for work. To me it's all relative, I work really hard and payed off my debts, so now I feel I can justify spending 5k on a toy. But if I needed a truck for work and had to pick this toy or the truck, for damn sure I wouldn't have a trike lol
@@BigSendLittleSend its not worth my money, for a stupid toy. Spend yours, as you wish. I have better ways to spend $4600. You know, groceries, mortgage, kids. Grown man stuff
@josephmcintyre752 you spend your money however you like. I won't judge you one bit. But hey if you do decide to,"waste" a bunch of money on a mini trike. The sfd one is way better, aka whole point in making this video 🤣🤣🤣 wish you nothing but the best man, may God bless you and your family.
You didn't order anything from me, if you ordered a tgv trike I recommend contacting tgv. If you ordered an sfd trike I'd reccomend contacting sfd. I'm just a guy who bought both lol
@@BigSendLittleSend sorry to bother you, just see so many of these little trikes for sale unbelievable prices so I ordered one for $70.00 never got any verification from the manufacturer just trying to get someone’s attention again , sorry for the mistake
@patrickzeising5179 it's okay, I understand your frustration. If you look through the comments on this video you'll see a bunch of other people who fell for the same scam. I would try to get your money back asap. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Heck the motor alone on these trikes is over $300.

"When you order a TGV Mini Trike (Platinum Edition), you invest in a functional artwork piece. This trike would be a fitting addition to a multi-million dollar showroom, but it would also stand up to hundreds of hours of ripping around campgrounds, parking lots, and fields with your buddies."
😂😂😂😂
I can and have built better than this for less than 1k in my own garage.
The buy in is steep!!
Wow. Would have never known with their marketing o f the tvg. Almost junk . Total rip . Thanks for explaining
They do have one hell of a marketing team, but unfortunately the product is a huge disappointment.
TGV is too busy farting around and not being busy.
What type of Gas does the tgv need
91 octane or higher
Where can I buy a sfd ??
they have a website, or you can call them, just google sfd industries
I have built a few and sell for 2500 and some people think I’m crazy.
Want to build me one? Got any pics or vids on social media so I can look at your builds?
@@BigSendLittleSend what’s your email
What’s the website on both
One is the garage vlog, the other is sfd Industries. Sfd Industries website is riderowdy.com. should be able to find either easily with a Google search.
Bouta just build it. Honestly.
Probably the best way to go tbh
Take the elbow off of the filter. fixed!
Just bought 2 full trikes from tgv for 80$ so we’ll see when they come in 🤣
Hope you can get your money back...
@@BigSendLittleSend the more I look into it the worse it looks 🤣
Hi. Bunlardan. Almak. Istiyurum. ???
how fast it go
I've hit 50 mph on the sfd on, anything above 30 mph on the tgv one is too sketchy to me.
I got the Morocco can u shoot me a link for all I need to make it a trike and I will prey for u this Sunday in church in an altered boy
This one came as a trike, not sure what it'd take to convert it. 🤷♂️ May God bless you too and I appreciate any prayers coming my way.

Are you Keeling me ,5000 box for this ,the Price Sock so Much !
TGV over priced u would think the complete engine design was theirs
Getting blue for sure. Tgv not good. Ty
For 5k i can a 06-10 335i manual in my area
Like comparing apples to potatoes. One is a brand new toy you get to enjoy for 20 plus years with little maintenance money. The other you will spend 2k plus a year just to keep roadworthy lmao
i’m seeing these on sale from the tiktok shop for 30 bucks…
Definitely a scam ad
Yikes TGV trike looks pretty poorly built compared to the SFD. I find it hilarious that TGV always complains about imitators building shit versions of their trikes lol
I just subbdued btw too ..your kidding me...I Shyt u nawt!!!
You can’t compare at all a 1,200$ trike to a 5k plus trike like really. Is like buying a Lexus and a Kia then try to compare them 😂😂😂. The 1,200$ trike leaves you room for upgrades and I guess from the price that is clear to me.
Its more than double the price for the sfd
It does look like sfd has increased their prices since I made this video, which I don't blame them because they do such a good job. But tgv is still selling their trikes for $5k plus shipping and tax. So the sfd one is definitely still cheaper...
But I don't think its fair your comparing a $4,500 Trike to a $2,500?
One cost 3800 when i bought it, the other one cost 5k when i bought it. Where are you getting 2500 from?
@@BigSendLittleSend Look on both of their websites right now TGV has a sale for 750 but the OG price was 2,500 and SFD if you look on their website it's 4,500?
Definitely avoiding buying from TGV. I'm glad I saw this b4 making my choice.
The problem is....how to trust your point of view
Alright, you go buy both and tell me what you think.
The hammer trike with headlight is $4600. I'll just buy a used TRUCK instead.
But will the $4600 truck do wheelies?
@@BigSendLittleSend ill make more money with a truck, than i will a trike. Will the glorified big wheel, get me back & forth to work? Can i haul anything with it? Will it tow a boat or trailer? Truck ftw
@josephmcintyre752 it's just not a valid comparison imho. I agree a used truck is definitely better value for the money. But I would hope if someone was entertaining spending $5k on a damn fun toy, they definitely aren't needing a 4k truck for work. To me it's all relative, I work really hard and payed off my debts, so now I feel I can justify spending 5k on a toy. But if I needed a truck for work and had to pick this toy or the truck, for damn sure I wouldn't have a trike lol
@@BigSendLittleSend its not worth my money, for a stupid toy. Spend yours, as you wish. I have better ways to spend $4600. You know, groceries, mortgage, kids. Grown man stuff
@josephmcintyre752 you spend your money however you like. I won't judge you one bit. But hey if you do decide to,"waste" a bunch of money on a mini trike. The sfd one is way better, aka whole point in making this video 🤣🤣🤣 wish you nothing but the best man, may God bless you and your family.
Still waiting for my order?????????
You didn't order anything from me, if you ordered a tgv trike I recommend contacting tgv. If you ordered an sfd trike I'd reccomend contacting sfd. I'm just a guy who bought both lol
@@BigSendLittleSend sorry to bother you, just see so many of these little trikes for sale unbelievable prices so I ordered one for $70.00 never got any verification from the manufacturer just trying to get someone’s attention again , sorry for the mistake
@patrickzeising5179 it's okay, I understand your frustration. If you look through the comments on this video you'll see a bunch of other people who fell for the same scam. I would try to get your money back asap. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Heck the motor alone on these trikes is over $300.
@@BigSendLittleSend I guess I learned a valuable lesson I’d love to get a refund but can’t seem to get a hold of anyone
@patrickzeising5179 whatever payment method you used, contact them. If through your bank, call the bank. If PayPal, call paypal, ect.
5k buying a used atc250r😂
Want a trike? Get a BVC Trike.

Lol.. For that kind of money I'd just rather buy more guns
Wow! No way these things are worth 5k what an absolute rip off!
That's what I'm saying.😂this guy spent 5k and couldn't wait and spent 5k more lol...😮..i saw Rocket or something for like $800.00 . They're mini bikes lol people are crazy lol
