      @@jianxiongRaven not for the time being because of how expensive the tricity 300 is. The machine price is $21k, add current coe of about $9.5k. The tricity 300 now cost at least $30.5k. It's too expensive for a class 2A bike. I rather get the new forza 350 or adv 350 which is cheaper.

    Haha... I still have the 1st gen Tricity despite having a Class 2 bike. This is the bike if I want a relax ride, ride in wet conditions or carry lots of stuff... Also "parents approved" bike, went to JB with it, can still slowly ride to workshop if one of the front wheels has a flat, etc... yes I also give a smug glance when passing by bikes taking shelter in the rain... honestly, I stopped caring of how I look on this bike after a while... personally, my favorite bike of the 5 bikes that I've owned so far.

    Hi mervin. May i know if we change to a bigger tyre size more stability of the bike? Or the tyre size is standard size?

    • @mervineng9804
      @mervineng9804 Před rokem

      I am riding a 125 hence my rear tyre size is 110/90-12. The newer 155 has a larger rear tyre, 130/70-13 which makes it a little more stable. The front tyres are both 90/80-14 for both models. You cant upsize it, as the rim is not compatible with wider tyres.

    How's it like with a pillion? Does it still feels stable?

    • @mervineng2705
      @mervineng2705 Před 3 lety +2

      Definitely much more stable than 2 wheel bikes with pillion. Especially when u ride across big bus or trucks, sometimes the Cross wind can make ur bike suay. The braking system is also very good. 2 brakes in front allows u to brake safety with pillion as well. Very hard to jam up the front brakes and the chances of you skiding when doing emergency brake is also lower. However you need to get use to riding this bike first before pillion. This bike is head heavy, which makes low speed maneuver slightly harder. After few weeks of riding you will get use to it and appreciate the additional front end grip =)

    • @mervineng2705
      @mervineng2705 Před 3 lety +1

      3 wheelers have more contact patch with the ground than 2 wheelers. It is still possible to skid. I skid once at a multi story carpark when the floor is really wet. It's physics that 2 front wheels will definitely give u more grip than 1 front wheel. And the infamous motorcycle 'tank slap' will almost never happen.

      @@faibugatti8845 nope, it was a low speed skid and I drop the bike gently. There wasn't any damage to bike at all and no injuries for me. That skid happened also because I didn't realize my rear tyre was worn out. Ever since I always go real slow on wet carparks. Since then no skids =)

      Currently tricity brand new is 155cc, yes it's 2B license. Machine price cost around $8.5k, current COE is $9.5k so total probably around $18k. Or you can look for 2nd hand tricity (mostly 125cc) for around $6k to $7k on carousel.
