<div> </div>
<div>Why don't you buy those 3 $400. electric cushmans and have a go-cart style race event at Am.Steel. You could have several heats at $20 bucks a contestant with a winning purse at the end of the event. Your just the right person to pull off a crazy idea like this. </div>
<div>Oh, I also love the fact that I am the poster child of what NOT to buy in a cushman. Yup, my lil Asscrack is still needing some little copper part for the ignition to start. It's now taking up space in my garage and is just another project for me to restore. Where was my intervention? Oh yah, I ignored Raz's well intended advice. </div>

<br><br>One of the most successful dealers for these Xebra <br>things is local to me in Salem, Oregon. You can see his website here with <br>a bunch of pictures:<br><a href="http://www.electricwheelsinc.com/zap_pickup.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.electricwheelsinc.com/zap_pickup.shtml</a><br>
<br>There are quite a number of these Xebra trikes <br>around here, a guy just a few blocks from me owns one. I think the dealer <br>has sold about 60 of them. The Xebra is no Cushman. I have looked
<br>them over pretty close and they are not built near as well as a Cushman. <br>The frame is much less substantial and the body is thin. They are typical <br>chinese quality.<br><br>They do look pretty cool and I have seen at least <br>
one on the road here that is about 5 years old and still going <br>strong.<br><br><br>----- Original Message ----- <br>>From: C y b e r <br>> sAM <br>>To: Silly Little Email <br>> List <br>>Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 11:09 <br>
