Designed with both safety and performance in mind, the Cheetah SS, made entirely in the USA, is positioned to jump to the head of the class in the high-powered trike market. " I decided to design a safer motorcycle that is also the Ultimate V8 Muscle Trike," says Tom Walters, designer and company owner. "I wanted a blend of motorcycle and street rod that has the riders down 'inside' the machine with plenty of Stainless Steel Tubing surrounding them. It would provide them more safety in an accident than riders now have 'on' bikes and trikes that leave them exposed and vulnerable to hits from other vehicles." With nearly 30 years of building V-8 powered trikes, Walters should know. "Riders' legs have always been completely unprotected," Walters continued. My design provides riders side protection from two horizontal, heavy-wall stainless steel frame rails and stainless steel framed doors on each side of both riders, plus the added benefit of the large rear automobile wheels to help buffer a side impact. An automobile impact from any direction will move this machine before being able to reach riders legs inside this extremely strong frame structure." From the all-important safety standpoint, Cheetah SS is clearly The Smart Way To Ride." Trikes are normally safer than a two-wheeled motorcycle, but only if the engineering that goes into the chassis is well designed. Not only does the Cheetah SS employ the best-engineered chassis in the trike market, the 2" square stainless steel tubing also makes it the strongest. (more) Cheetah Trikes - Page 2 The Cheetah's stainless steel tubing completely surrounds both driver and passenger for maximum safety. This side-impact protection and its low center-of- gravity make the Cheetah SS even safer. Other features that set the Cheetah SS ahead of the competition: Strong alloy aluminum body panels on 304 heavy-wall tubular stainless steel frame gives you the best chassis money can buy. Rider and passenger ride IN the stainless steel structured chassis for additional safety rather than ON a motorcycle that has no metal structure surrounding driver and passenger. All running gear (Engine, Transmission, Rear End) are brand new, unlike most trike builders who utilize used or rebuilt components. New factory running gear means your Cheetah SS should provide many years of service with only general periodic maintenance. The “Cheetah SS” comes with a retractable hardtop that provides protection from rain and harmful UV Rays of the sun, yet fully retracts into the 16 cubic ft. trunk for an open-roadster look. Over 20 MPH, there is virtually no engine heat felt by riders and only occasionally noticed under 20 MPH (a test-ride will confirm this). You can special-order one of four GM High Performance Chevy V8s. This is the only extra cost option, and will be quoted at time of order. Most V8 trikes come with a rebuilt, 3-speed, 350 Turbo transmission. Your “Cheetah SS” will have a more expensive, brand-new, 4-speed, overdrive transmission for faster take-offs and better cruising. Most V8 trikes come with a rebuilt rear end. Your “Cheetah SS” will have a more expensive, brand-new, GM disc-brake rear end. All Cheetahs are sold Consumer-Direct, eliminating sales commissions and dealer mark-ups of 20-25%. Riding a “Cheetah SS” makes a powerful statement with its popular street rod features (including a tubular stainless bar-grille), its high power-to-weight ratio and unmistakably strong look, sound and feel of a Chevy V8.
