The Big Wheel SS Trike made its North American debut on Saturday February, 20, 2010 at the Biker Pros Garage Party held at A Biker’s Garage in Roanoke Texas. The day started overcast but the it didn’t damped enthusiasm for a truly innovative ride with test rides booked back to back from the time the facilities opened at 8AM to closing time at 5PM.
The Big Wheel Trike with 24 Inch Wheel
The SS Trike delivers a spirited ride with the pilot maneuvering the trike with a 24 inch Metzeler shod Big Wheel tire leading the way. The tire floats over many of the highway potholes because of its size, which offers an incredibly smooth ride.
The first thing you notice about the trike is the spiritual interpretation of Mattel’s Big Wheel sporting a custom forged wheel out front and a set of American Racing’s Torq Thrust in the rear.

American Racing Torq Thrust II custom wheel a two-piece fully polished aluminum wheel. It is direct bolt with conical seat lug holes for use with acorn style lugs.
The trike has many hot rod touches including a 55 Chevy front headlight, 56 Chevy rear lights, 2 speed automatic transmission, v-twin power plant and an awe inspiring 24 inch forged wheel with Metzeler rubber.
