Palmer Industries, a family business, officially opened its doors in 1973. After a trip to Florida where we first saw the adult 3 wheel trikes, Jack invented and patented an attachable electric power kit. To our knowledge, and the patent office's, it was the first electric attachable for 3 Wheelers. With a lot of enthusiasm, and very little capital, we became the World's First Manufacturer of Electric Kits for Three Wheelers. Many perceptive editors gave us beneficial coverage in their national magazines; Modern Maturity, Sunday's Parade Magazine, Popular Mechanics and Popular Science, to name a few. As time passed quickly, and sales grew gradually, we began receiving inquiries for similar products. Some wanted to use their Electric Three Wheeler in place of a car and wanted a more comfortable seat. Those unable to pedal were delighted we had eliminated the pedaling problem, but they wanted more seat support. Our time was usurped building power kits. But the people persevered with suggestions, ideas and pictures of their homemade machines. We were a small company with a large family of customer friends.
