Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Owned one of these for three years before upgrading to ICE trike for suspension.
Pros:
- Stiff frame transfers power well.
- The seat is very comfortable. Can ride for long periods without numbness. VERY EASY to adjust!
- Although low, once you get the flag up, it is much more visible to motorists than you would think. They tend to slow down (to stare I guess).
- Like most trikes, being so low to the ground, you get the sensation of speed even when you're not going that fast. I can only describe the reponse as being like riding a go cart. It's a blast!
- Fairly light weight for a trike
- If you mount a rear rack, this thing will carry a tone of stuff (I've carried up to 8 grocery bags home on this trike)
- It's made by an American company.
Cons:
- Bumps and potholes transfer directly to upper spine and neck. Makes you much more aware of the road surface. I needed something with suspension.
- My TT was a little to unstable for me. I used to ride it pretty fast around turns. Even leaning with the turns, I flipped it twice...my own fault.
-Don't know if new model has a front chain tube, but right calf and pants always seemed to get some chain oil on it.
- Turning radius is a bit wide. I used this trike a lot around town on narrow streets where turning radius is critical. If you use it on open road, it's not an issue.
Thoughts:
Options I would definitely suggest you get: Fenders, Extra mirror (good to have them on both sides), Rear rack, light-mounting crossbar to fit on front derailer tube.
I've had 4 spinal surgeries and could not take the stiff ride of this trike.
A stiff, yet comfortable and responsive trike for the money.
