1. Servicing, can’t speak for all owners but I think most of us do our own
2. The window in my hood is plastic.
3. Security, removable steering wheel and a battery kill switch with removable key.
Hope this helps
Richard.

Hello John
I have recently completed a type 3 which you are welcome to try for size. I live in Baildon, West Yorkshire so it may be convenient for you.

Maintenance of any Triking is made simple by not needing plug-in diagnostics at a money grabbing main dealer.
Electronics are limited to fuel injection on late-donor cars. Carburettors are for true hands-on enthusiasts.
Mechanical parts are relatively easy maintenance by competent owners or a small motorcycle or car repair shop. Al at Triking HQ is the true destination for major surgery or overhauls.

Thanks for that, Tony. Your phrase "money grabbing main dealer" is spot-on in my recent experience, when a service cost me more than the banger is worth!

Tony; "Carburettors are for true hands-on enthusiasts" ?
I think you mean "Carburettors are for those who like to tinker endlessly..." ;)
