Thank you very much. I bought this trainer several years ago but stopped using it after only a couple of years. Now, after watching your video, I suspect I gave up on it because the resistance was too much for me. I didn't know about placing the red capped roller on the left side. I'll try that next time I us it. That may help make pedaling easier. I did manage to use my nearly non existent carpentry skills to construct a device from 2 by 4 lumber, long drywall screws, and a thick dowel rod to keep the trike from rocking and to raise the front wheels to the level caused by the trainer on the rear wheel, and it works fairly well.. Again, thank you for making this video. If I weren't so far from your shop, I'd stop by. It looks like a really good store.

My first trike was a Trident Spike 2. It was a decent trike for the cost but it had stability issues at speeds over about 10-12 mph. The place I bought it at could never correct it. I traded it in toward a Hase for my spousal unit. I should have bought a Stowaway 2.

What about using with a delta trike? Would you need two rollers?
@connecticutyankeepedalleri4188 Жыл бұрын
Good question. If the delta trike has a dual-drive setup then you would need a roller system for both wheels. On the other hand if it is a single-drive then you would just need to prop up the non drive wheel with a wooden board or a wheel block. Hopefully that answers your question!

Yes. My Hase has a differential so both rear wheels are drive wheels. Thank you!

Had dropped leg twice bounce off asphalt. Ouch! Worse by far is leg going under the trike frame. Use full-foot-support heel cup pedals here with all the nylon straps removed. No pedaling upward, but I don't do that anyway. Gary AKA: "Jason Stillwater" in the recumbent world.

Every trike rider should watch this video. After using clipless pedals ( with foot pain) I tried the platform pedals with the pins . Up hill was fine but down hill with no pressure on the pedals and some bumps my right foot came off and under the frame it went at 22 MPH. Needless to say it was 8 weeks of rest and using a boot for the torn achilles tendon to heal and get back on the trike. I'm hoping more trike riders watch this video. Thank you for doing this.

Still enjoying mine (over many years), and have made modifications since then. Changed the gearing system to an 11 speed rear sprocket assembly. Moved the vertical steering post all the way forward and then added a modified set of handle bars to accommodate were I wanted my elbows and hand positioning to be at. This is relative to the front of my body ( due to the maximum upright seat position...my choice). Moving the vertical post forward meant I had to modify the aluminum slats for the front fenders as they were in the way. Still treating it as my experimental vehicle and seeing what I like to see on trikes relative to the trike industry as a whole. My next focus will be on the seat.

@connecticutyankeepedalleri41883 жыл бұрын
For folding the trike you will need to have the chain in the smallest sprockets both front and rear. This would put the front in the smallest chain ring which is for hill climbing. The smallest sprocket in the rear is the highest gear which is NOT for hill climbing. Hopefully that answers your question.

While the system is on - press and hold the SET button for 2-3 seconds and this will activate settings. > press the SET button to toggle through the options till you get to #3. > above the flashing #3 you’ll see Mph or Km/H . By pressing the + button you’ll be able to switch from one to the other. Once you have the MPH on the screen you can press and hold the SET button again to return to the main screen.

Nearest real shops are 200 miles away. Really surprised recumbents aren't more popular. I currently own an HP Velo Gekko and have 1500 miles on her after a year.
