The Other Andy
I’d been threatening to get a Trikke with a battery for a long time, despite the disapproval of a couple of people in the DFW Trikke group (those pesky purists). I wasn’t discouraged by the shunning that I imagined they’d give me when I joined them one Sunday morning with my new battery-operated Trikke.
At last one day, assured that I could live with the disdain of my fellow Trikkers, I set out to finally buy a Pon-e. My local dealer had no Pon-es , so I had to go elsewhere, crossing state lines and going to unfamiliar territory.

Hey Andy,
I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how things were going. I didn’t know how to post a blog on your site, hopefully this will help you out.

Why Buy a Pon-e?

I managed to come up with some very good reasons.
First, I want to say that until I bought my Trikke, I never realized how many hills there were in Texas. I’m talking hills that will stop you dead in your tracks. I never noticed them before. As a matter of fact, after I bought my Trikke, I think the area experienced some sort of secret earthquake that changed the land. Suddenly in my own cul-de-sac, we had a hill.

Kenny's painted T8

Andy.. here are the pics from my 2 day conversion. Friday morning I tore apart my T8, put the parts in a bucket, and proceeded to sand down the T8. I primered the parts with white acrylic primer. Next coat was Dupli-Color Metalic specks (silver), and by Friday evening I even had the Dupli-Color Red Candy applied to the leg arms of the T8.
Saturday morning, I proceeded to paint the next assembly, front forks silver metal specks, followed by candy red. I dropped by SBT to pick up new T8 brake cables, headed back, and found everything dry enough for Dupli-Color Clear coat.
