Seasang is not well-known or has limited distribution, so it's difficult to say whether it is reliable or not without more information. These ATV's never gained any traction, anybody have a picture of one, that's where we should start.

ATV Pow-Wow / Re: Yamoto ATV
Last post by kennhurr - April 29, 2023, 05:37:22 AM
Yamoto ATVs were manufactured by a Chinese company named Zhejiang Taotao Industry Co., Ltd. However, it appears that the Yamoto brand is no longer in production or sold under that name.

It's important to note that there are many Chinese-made ATVs and UTVs on the market, and the quality and reliability of these vehicles can vary widely. If you are considering purchasing a Chinese-made ATV, it's important to research the brand and manufacturer, read reviews from reputable sources, and inspect the vehicle thoroughly before making a purchase. It may also be more challenging to find replacement parts and service for Chinese-made ATVs, so it's important to factor that into your decision-making process as well.

The Yamoto name always sounded too much like Yamaha to me. Almost like they were trying to confuse people with the Yamoto brand.

ETON was a brand of ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) that was manufactured by ETON America, a subsidiary of a Taiwanese company named E-TON.

In terms of the reliability of ETON ATVs, it's difficult to make a definitive statement, as individual experiences may vary depending on factors such as usage, maintenance, and environmental conditions. However, ETON ATVs were generally regarded as being durable and well-built, with a reputation for being reliable and easy to maintain.

If you are considering purchasing a used ETON ATV, it's important to thoroughly inspect the vehicle, research its history and maintenance records, and have a qualified mechanic perform a comprehensive inspection before making a purchase. Additionally, it may be more challenging to find replacement parts and service for ETON ATVs since the brand is no longer in production.

UTV Pow-Wow / Re: UTV Brand to Avoid

Reliability can be impacted by various factors such as maintenance, usage, and environmental conditions, and individual experiences can vary.

There have been several UTV brands that have ceased production or gone out of business over the years. Here are some examples of defunct UTV brands you can avoid:

  • Joyner: Joyner was a Chinese-based UTV manufacturer that produced a range of models, including the Trooper, Renegade, and Sand Viper. The company filed for bankruptcy in 2017 and is no longer in operation.
  • Tomcar: Tomcar was an Australian UTV manufacturer that produced rugged, off-road vehicles for military and commercial use. The company went into administration in 2020 and is currently looking for a buyer.
  • Cub Cadet: Cub Cadet was a UTV brand owned by MTD Products, a company that also produces lawn and garden equipment. Cub Cadet stopped production of their UTVs in 2019.
  • Kymco: Kymco was a Taiwanese-based manufacturer that produced a range of UTVs, including the UXV 500 and UXV 700. The company decided to discontinue its UTV line in North America in 2020.
  • Yamaha Rhino: Yamaha Rhino was a popular UTV model produced by Yamaha from 2004 to 2013. The vehicle faced several safety concerns and lawsuits, which led to its discontinuation in 2013.

It's important to note that while these brands are no longer in operation or producing UTVs, some of their models may still be available on the market through used or aftermarket sales.

Street Bike Pow-Wow / Re: Street Trikes
Last post by kennhurr - April 29, 2023, 05:25:17 AM
Street trikes, can also be known as "reverse trikes" or "three-wheeled motorcycles," they have become increasingly popular in recent years despite what anyone says.

These vehicles are essentially motorcycles that have been modified with a third wheel, usually at the rear of the vehicle. This third wheel can provide added stability and safety, particularly when braking or cornering, and can make these vehicles more accessible to riders who may have difficulty balancing on a traditional two-wheeled motorcycle.

Street trikes come in a variety of styles and designs, from sleek and sporty models to more utilitarian or touring-oriented trikes. Many manufacturers offer factory-built trikes, while others can be custom-built or modified from existing motorcycles. Some popular models include the Polaris Slingshot, the Can-Am Spyder, and the Harley-Davidson Tri Glide.

Overall, street trikes can be seen as a stylish and unique alternative to traditional motorcycles or cars, and they have gained a strong following among riders who appreciate their stability, comfort, and versatility.

However, like any type of vehicle, street trikes may not be for everyone, and riders should consider their needs and preferences carefully before deciding whether to purchase or ride a street trike.

I definitely think I see more now than ever on the road.
