It's here!


Finally, after a summer of port delays, uncertainty, and 30 days in US Customs, our foreign-made Maxfoot MF 35 Landau arrived! Curbed delivery of the 90 percent assembled trike that came in a big box the size of a refrigerator. We made quick work of the cardboard and neighbor John helped with the rest. We're thrilled. The battery came charged so it wasn't long before we took a spin around the parking lot.

This powerful silent beast is a definite upgrade from our previous trike. A bench seat allows Kathleen to hang on for dear life as we navigate the myriad nature trails and sidewalks (and shopping) that surround our home at Southwest Station. Heretofore, she only looked at the creek and pond. Now we (and Alex) will be out and about in it.

Asians have a ton of experience with rickshaws, pedi-cabs and the like. It shows. So far, we haven't found anything to complain about. And no tariff.
