I received an email from a man by the name of Dmitry Vinogradov in Latvia asking me if I could advertise a tadpole trike for sale on this blog. Since it is new and not used I can’t post it on my used trike page. I decided to first post it here on its own page and then include it in the other pages I have for new trikes. Here is what he sent me: (I have added a bit more here and there as I looked up the company and found various helpful things to include here.)

I know nothing of this company or this trike so I am in no way personally endorsing them. I am just sharing this to let you know of their existence. I am always leery buying anything from overseas in a far away country as I am quite concerned about getting any needed parts or customer service. This is not to say that this company would not respond quickly to customers should they need something. I simply have no idea since they are not an established international sales entity with a good and proven track record.
A FREE GIFT awaits you!
Everything looks spindly Zack after riding a monster fatquad! I have the same impression nowadays – after riding a fatrike around for over a year, normal street trikes look like flimsy toys, haha.
This featured trike seems very sophisticated, and the price is unbelievably low for a full suspension vehicle like this. I am impressed! For a spindly trike, it’s pretty impressive.
Ah, you “big guys” make me sick!” 😉
Join us Steve! You’ll never look back! These machines are awesome, and unbelievably fun. Not only that, but ALL motorists see you out there, high, huge, and happy … oh yeah!
I could not afford a tire for one much less for the entire trike. Besides, I only ride on local paved trails so I have no need of a FAT trike.
Interesting looking machine, but for some reason it looks very spindly…! As though the bars are somewhat smaller in dia. then other trikes with this type suspension… But a very nice looking machine non the less…!
