We received an announcement from KM on 3/31/10 that they have a new trike coming. Per the announcement:

It sounds exciting, but June feels like a long time away! I'm glad to see that KMX is finally putting spoked wheels on the trike, since the nylon mag wheels have really been what has made the difference between their kid and adult versions. The 3-speed transmission will be great for the maintenance-free customers and rental facilities, but offers a lot of potential for upgrades. As soon as we have a clear date of availability we will start accepting preorders.
