Whatever Happened To The Trinity Trike??
|
Some Good News About Transitions:
And what is that news?? First, that as of mid-January 2012, The Trinity Trike
Mfg LLC is in the final stages of a complete metamorphosis!! What does that
mean?? For the growing Trinity customer base and the trike community at large,
this is good news! My partner, Richard Yelvington and I have just penned a deal
to sell all the intellectual property (i.e., our designs) and other assets of
The Trinity Trike Mfg LLC to a new company called Yelvington Trikes LLC.
Obviously, since it bears his name, Richard Yelvington will be heavily involved
with the new organization and remain in charge of the technological development
that he's brought forth from the beginning. As for me (Bob Witte), I'm retiring
and will out of the picture very soon. As of March of this year, Yelvington
Trikes will move into a 25,000 square foot production facility located in Largo,
Florida. The new factory contains a large, fully equipped, state of the art
machine shop. It has all the automatic CNC lathes and milling machines necessary
to assure that Yelvington Trikes will very soon be able to maintain available
stocks of their standard models. Pretty much out of the gate, Yelvington Trikes
will be able deliver our successful Suzuki TriBurg and Honda UltraWing kits
in days rather than the months that became so typical for Trinity deliveries.
Another piece of good news is that Yelvington Trikes will be bringing back to the market place most of what was the Trinity Trike's full line up of models. In addition to the TriBurg and UltraWing super scooters the fantastic Hyosung GV-650 sport cruiser and the popular Suzuki GZ-250's will again be available in the 1st Quarter 2012. Shortly thereafter, the medium sized shaft drives we developed last year will finally be released. The first of those available will be the Honda Shadow series and Yamaha VStars, so you can start making your plans now!
And yet more good news is that Yelvington Trikes LLC will continue to support the various Trinity Trike models. In addition, they will increase the trike kit offerings while also having the potential to offer complete, ready-to-ride, turn key Yelvington Trike models for sale. They can do this because Yelvington Trikes is a subsidiary of a far larger group of multiple businesses that are well established and financially sound companies with extensive machine production capabilities, engineering, program management and experienced staff all committed to customer service.
Being part of that large group also allows Yelvington Trikes to now offer kit financing with rates from 5.9% and up; PLUS there's no requirement for a lien on your title! So even if you have a bike with a current lien on it, you can now buy a Yelvington Trike kit and finance it via a signature loan without regards to first having a clear title on the donor vehicle.
All in all, a strong financial base, better service, higher quality, product financing, and a much quicker delivery of a superior trike product means that 2012 will be the "breakthrough year" for what is and has been a unique product!
As evidence of the new company's commitment and vision, they will have a booth
at the huge Indy Powersport Expo / Dealer Expo to be held in Indianapolis on
February 17 thru 19, 2012. Check them out; it is the same product now with improved
and enhanced support!
