Hi...I don't know alot about them, but I do have one that I rebuilt a couple of years back. It is the "Springer" model with the roll cage. There are a few ads out there on ebay, but the info is pretty sketchy. What are you looking for exactly?

The Company A.P.E. (Allied Pacific Engineering) I believe went belly up in the late 1970's or early 80's after Honda introduced the 3 wheeler. That event pretty much killed the 3 wheel go-cart market at the time. I remember seeing an ad in a 1970 Cycle magazine my Dad kept in the bathroom. I never saw one up close as they were out of California. Then I was driving through a small town in Iowa one day and saw one in pieces at a garage sale. I bought it and restored it. There were a few models made. "Tracker" "Springer" and they offered a Briggs engine or a McCullough at one time. There was also an optional SKI insert that replaced the front tire. I am not sure how well that would have worked. Cool Idea though. Some had roll bars, slip differentials, etc... Mine has the roll cage, a ball joint flexible frame, and just looks cool.
I will probably end up selling mine here soon if you know of anyone.
Thanks,
Mike

Hello Mike : The Trikes are making a real comeback in all sizes of bikes. Your Dunecycle springer should sell real fast and yours looks great. Just give the people here on the forum a crack at it. And more pictures are always a big blessing for those looking to restore a lees complete project.
