Re: Can Boom Mustang Trike be towed with a front wheel...
As long as it's a manual transmission and you put it in neutral. I can't see any reason it wouldn't work.
Not sure about the automatic transmission though. I would ask the company.

The ECM, or engine control module, on a 2008 oz trike chopper 2 is typically located under the seat or in the engine compartment.
To locate the ECM on your trike, follow these steps:
Locate the seat of the trike. The ECM is often located underneath the seat or in a compartment built into the seat itself.
If the ECM is not located under the seat, it may be located in the engine compartment. The engine compartment is typically located at the front of the trike, behind the front wheel.
Look for a box-like component with wires connected to it. The ECM is typically a small, rectangular component with several wires connected to it. It may be labeled with the initials "ECM" or "ECU" (engine control unit).
If you are unable to locate the ECM using the above steps, consult the owner's manual for your specific model of trike for more information.
Note: The location of the ECM may vary depending on the specific model and configuration of your trike. If you are unsure of where to find the ECM on your trike, it is recommended that you contact a qualified mechanic or the manufacturer for assistance.
if it is an automatic transmission it will need to towed with the front wheels off the ground
Short distance towing with any automatic transmission is ok but it has to be remembered that the gears/bearings will be without lubricating oil
the user manual for all automatic cars states to remove the drive shaft before towing and as that is impracticable with a front wheel drive car , best to tow with the wheels of the ground
consider putting it on a car trailer behind you MH as an alternative operation
Should be okay if you use a tow dolly. This means you drive the front wheels up on the tow dolly and strap the tires down. The rear wheels are like trailer tires and should roll as if they do when driven.
Old question but I just needed the answer and figured it out. On one side of the wheel there is a disc with two arrows, line this arrows up with the arrows on the wheel and push the disc into the wheel until it clicks into place. Pull it out to convert back to a stroller.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) gets signals from transponders in the wheels. By modifying the unit from its stock form (removing the stock rear wheel), the TPMS is not receiving a signal and will cause the warning light to illuminate. Unfortunately there is no way to fix this without returning the bike to stock. The light will not cause any damage, but the system will not be able to alert you of low pressure in the front wheel.
My husband and I just put this trike together and had a similar problem - the front wheel always turned the pedals and we couldn't figure out how to stop this. The manual for the trike is awful and very hard to understand. After spending a LOT of time analyzing the pictures and doing all sorts of weird things to the pedals, I found a posting on a website that said they'd had the same problem, but had removed and re-attached the front wheel and the problem was suddenly fixed. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, we noticed that in one of the manual's pictures that the air valve for the front tire was facing the other direction - we'd actually put the tire on backwards. I took the tire off, put it back on facing the other way, and suddenly it all works as it's supposed to.
The thing is, you actually don't have to "do" anything to change from free to fixed and keep the pedals stable. If my daughter pushes the pedals around, they move around, and if she keeps her feet steady on them, the wheel continues to go around while the pedals stay put. It truly is automatic, which the diagram in the manual does a terrible job of conveying.
Hope this helps someone. We like this trike, but the directions are beastly!
