trikes. The standard Grazhopper includes the basic frame and cables, the 3 12” Wheeleez 
wheels, upgraded sealed steel bearings in all wheels, universal motor mounts, 2 certified 
aluminum carabiners and 2 certified 10” nylon runners, 2 stainless steel D links, and 3 strips 
of double sided Velcro for storage and assembly. Harnesses and any additional accessories 
are not included in the standard configuration and carry extra expense.
