There's a dealer in Headlsburg too. I've only seen them there and haven't seen any on the road, which has always made me suspect.

One of the most successful dealers for these Xebra
things is local to me in Salem, Oregon. You can see his website here with
a bunch of pictures:

There are quite a number of these Xebra trikes
around here, a guy just a few blocks from me owns one. I think the dealer
has sold about 60 of them. The Xebra is no Cushman. I have looked
them over pretty close and they are not built near as well as a Cushman.
The frame is much less substantial and the body is thin. They are typical
chinese quality.
They do look pretty cool and I have seen at least
one on the road here that is about 5 years old and still going
strong.
