We have traveled world-wide and only promote, import & sell what we consider to be the safest trikes in the world. Most trikes are now certified; just like motorcycles, wave-runners & snowmobiles. We register our aircraft with the FAA & DOT. The aircraft in general is designed with CAD & even manufactured with a large amount of labor being done by precision computer driven equipment. One brand even works with BMW for airframe manufacturing. These aircraft are built from the highest quality structural aluminum, titanium, composites & steel available with every component passing inspection & tracking procedures. Unfortunately, the price reflects the cost of these exotic materials & testing. However, the result is that the aircraft is built to withstand 6 times the force of gravity and your learning curve… From experience as well as an engineering profession, I trust my life to its materials and workmanship but as with any sport, damage and material fatigue are inevitable without proper maintenance.
