IT APPEARS WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER KETTLER CO-OP

[lisaCO]

Neve--thanks for doing this! I am a post-lurker who is finally all the way out of the closet for this deal...count me in.

Can you clarify exactly what the deal is, please? I have gathered a 35% discount off retail, yes? How does shipping work?

So, I have been shopping for trikes, and have run across a Kettler that is new to me: http://www.mrtoys.com/kettler/Kettri...ler-brummi.htm

This Brummi looks like it has everything I want: Free wheel, parent control, dump bucket, and air tires. The only difference I can see is the price (only $110 for the PACKAGE) and the style of the frame (straight bar frame vs. the 'S' bar) So, my questions are:

a) Does Debbie's store carry this Brummi?

b) Does anyone out there have any opinions on the different frame styles? I want something easy to get on/off for my guy--he's on the small side...

TIA

[NEVE and TRISTAN]

...and then 35% off plus shipping!!!!!
I think her shipping is the actual cost of shipping and if not I do know it is close, she is not marking up her shipping to get money on that (I know some do)...

Here ya go...

Okay Neve here goes...I am trying to cover any questions here but if people still have some just get them together for me. Also, just wanted to clarify, if someone from the boards knows someone that want a trike that is not on the boards that is okay. I prob should not have said ONLY the boards but I just want to make sure that this does not get crazy and people are selling my phone number on ebay.I am sure you understand.

KETTRIKES FEATURES

Each Kettler trike is designed with a limited turning radius of 90 degrees which offers freedom in play, but in the same time reduces the danger of tipping over.

There is a 400 pound weight limit which makes them very durable.

The Kettler trike also comes with the HKS warranty. Which is a lifetime warranty on the frame. No gimmicks, no fine print. The Happy and the Jumbo models are the only ones with the HKS lifetime frame warranty.

The Kettrikes features:
Quick adjust frame- our multiple position adjustable frame allows the trike to grow with your child.

Parental control system- a steering lock mechanism locks handlebars into place for parental guidance and to aid in steering with the optional push bar.

Auto-freewheel- automatic freewheel coasting hub keeps the pedals from moving even while you push, and allows the child to rest their feet on the pedals.

Safety-trax wheel- long lasting, dual layer synthetic rubberized safety tread wheel pattern.

Air tires- real tubeless tired for superior performance, easier cruising, road gripping traction and responsive maneuvering.

Compact storage- two part frame can be taken apart for easy travel.

If they are your friends I nor Debbie have a problem with that at all...
The concern is just taking it out on the internet or to EBAY-this is only open to our community and their friends to share it with. I too have told some dear friends who are not BBB folks...

It is 35% off...you'd have to check the old thread regarding postage for I posted the info but didn't retain it since it didn't apply to me, I know there was no "profit" on it...check an old thread or maybe someone here can answer.
You'd have to check the new post I listed from Debbie showing the bikes...I didn't read all of the info since I of course am not in the market for one :)...

I would assume if it is a trike that is in their "normal" catalog and not speciality made for FAO or something then she has access to it...

Neve, thank you SO much for doing this!! You are wonderful.

Now, off to research and obsess...

[gour0]

Lisa, I just started looking at this, but the Brummi looks just like the air jumbo to me, but WITH the seatbelt and pushbar included! I pulled up the pictures and descriptions side-by-side. Maybe the Brummi is discontinued? They are selling them on Kettlerdirect.com for $109 as well, also with free shipping.

I am so very excited about this trike!! I hope my DD will be half as excited as I am. Thank you Neve.

[billysmommy]

Neve, thank you so much for doing this. We just got Billy a Jumbo but the store only carries the pushbar. They said they could order the footrest, seatbelt and bell for me but with a $35.00 "special order" fee for each item. I would MUCH rather give Debbie the business and even save a few dollars :)

[beckyr88]

Neve, thank you so much!!! I really hope to be in on this "Kettler action" too!!!

Yay!

[calebsmama03]

Thanks Neve!!! I think we'll be interested this time too :)
