I liked each and every one! They were unique in every way - always something cool to watch and learn about. Also loved your bumper music on this one. THANKS 4 sharing during the year! Oh! Appreciate the tip on the pedal spacers: Made a huge difference! Soooo my fav? You sitting there working your ham radio! Wonder why? 73! Merry Christmas 🎅

Your advice is excellent! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I have pedaled recumbent trikes thousands of miles, including several cross country journeys, and have never had a flat tire on my trike ... Here is what I have used: Schwalbe Marathon PLUS tires, Kenda thorn-resistant heavy duty inner tubes, and tire liners. I have pedaled through and over just about every kind of sharpie imaginable (glass, nails, metal shards) and my tires remained intact. At the end of one of my three-week treks, after getting back home, I discovered a nail in the tread of a front tire, which had been embedded into the tire for who knows how many hundreds of miles. I pulled it out, and the tire held air just fine, a testament to the Marathon PLUS setup described. I am currently running Schwalbe Big Apple tires, but they have a poor flat-proof rating on the Schwalbe 1-7 scale (Big Apples have only a 4, whereas my former Marathon PLUS have a 7). To make up for that deficit, I am now using Tannus Armour tire liners, which actually protect better than the Marathon PLUS, due to an even thicker protection layer in the tread area, plus a side protection layer. So far, I've not had any negative issue or flat, but then again, I have not yet ridden this new setup nearly the mileages that I have done on the Marathon PLUS tires. The Tannus Armour liners can even be run if the tube has flatted, enough to get a triker back home or to safety. For anyone interested, here is a link to the Tannus Armour liners: www.tannus.com/pages/armour With these liners, the tube used will be smaller: My Big Apple tires are 2", but I use a 1.5" tube to accommodate the Tannus Armour liners. steve

I used PowerGrips on my trike for many years, and they are good, but I switched to plastic flat pedals several years ago each pedal with two adjustable old school leather cycling toe straps - threaded through the pedal gaps/openings with one strap for around the back of the heel and one laterally/diagonally over and around the shoe. The adjustability of the toe straps (each has a flatish buckle) means I can ride any shoe securely depending on the conditions as well as tighten them right up inside the straps. The heel strap comes through the pedal out either side from the rear corners of the pedal, and can be adjusted with the buckle near the heel. Very secure and easy to center any shoe over the pedal.

Hi! How long are your pedal extensions? 73! Rex

That’s why I clip in. Good video.

My neighbors used to have a farmall a with exhaust lift , and it took 3 people to put the cultivates on good thing for touch control . However that's a nice farmall B.

You fell into the creek? On your TRIKE?? U oK????????

Yes! ❤ your comment re people back then had SENSE to stay out of harms way without OSHA guards and such 😂😂 ... I really liked the old bailers

Anyone with a pipe bender and welder with some bike parts can make one, but yeah you definitely most certainly know what you're talking about......😏🙃

My dad had one of those streetier Ds. Came From Kanas area. That is the true story. Also they wanted to start the new assembly of the Model R

How COOL! Would love to have him make me a custom poker and grappling hook for my fireplace. At 5'7 I can never find a good one for me to use... too big... and too Chinese 😂 After that a short tripod for a new 440 ham antenna ... cool post

Fall is so pretty but the high winds and freezing temperatures here in northern Canada make it hard to ride. Thanks for the vid.😀

Hitting embedded tree roots on a paved trail builds character 😊 ✌ 73!

Did you have a fender come off when you bike ride it

I HAD A 64 BUG IN 1970 IT'S MY GIRLFRIEND'S CAR. HAD IT FOR YEARS. VERY COOL TO DRIVE AND GREAT GAS MILEAGE TOO.

Superior Cinematography!

Just WAIT until the electrics show up SIGH!😂😂😂 ( joking )

Thanks for the interesting video about the Z30.😀

Unlike most videos on KZbin yours are real. They are not professional. They are made by a real person doing real things and that’s fantastic. Camera looks awesome.

This video sure reminded me of how loud those old tractors were. I think that"s why all the old farmers like my Grandpa were deaf. Great video.

Love the setup!

Thank you for this video…it was very useful and a good presentation…I don’t know yet which I have to buy between this one or Garmin 540, or Wahoo elemnt bolt…

I really liked the fact that the cuda had before and during picures in the trunk. Very interesting.😀

I don't know how or why I am seeing this now, but that's the internet for you. I have been riding two wheel recumbents for over 40 years. I got a trike to try it. I still prefer two wheel recumbents. Trikes are sluggish compared to two wheeler recumbents. I think that is why many, perhaps most, have electric assist. I appreciate the stability of the trike on slick surfaces, but I live in a dry climate and don't ride in what little rain we get. Trikes are more complicated. If you have a recumbent specialist locally, or if you enjoy doing things like checking alignment yourself, that is not an issue. But if you don't, it can be. Horses for courses, and all that, but I think it is sad that the two wheelers have died off because I do think they are still the right tool for some jobs.

You did not give one valid point as to why they’re more expensive everything you talked about every little part you talked about should only make that bike worth of maybe $200 more not 1500 up to $5000. You need to do your research and that just.

What an amazing path. Thanks for the vid.😀

The interesting thing is that a competent fabricator would build a trike but would not build a bicycle frame, my desire to try triking has also lead me to the home build route, on both cost and the non existent availability, the cost justification on components is spurious at best, numbers are your greatest reason, spreading design, tooling, and efficient manufacturing over larger numbers brings the unit cost way down, we need someone in China or India to start making them at affordable prices and for the reviewers to realise that you get what you pay for and take a realistic view instead of condemming them as "cheap crap", by being cheap they would open up the market to many people who would want to continue cycling but can't for a variety of reasons, come on India and China do what we know your great at and make them affordable.

I don't think there is a way to skip channels during scanning. You can set 3 different kinds of scanning but that's it on the radio. You'll have to put them to skip in the programming software and manually scroll through them when you're out and about. Please let me know if you ever find a way to do it! It would be a nice feature. Really is a nice little radio

I just built my third one. I'm 6' 2" tall and weigh 225lb. This one cost me $450. It has 3X 26" wheels internal gears in the rear, cable disk brakes all around and a web seat. It's Tig welded aluminum and then powder coated. All in my garage. All done at retail prices. I wouldn't sell it for anything less than $1500 because of the time invested.

Very interesting video. Kinda like fishing, trying to get a good one.😀

Hummm..my wife and I both ride Hase Trigo trikes with e-assist. No throttle. The motors on them make no noise. The trikes themselves make normal trike noises. My previous trike (Catrike 559) had e-assist with throttle added. Throttle rarely used and it did not make noise. Wonder what that kid was riding,

You guys are a RIOT😂 73!

Glad you are happy with your trike. BUT, everything you listed to justify the high cost adds up to only about $200 over the cost of a folding electric bicycle that retails under $800, AND, you didn't say a thing about an electric trike. Trikes are grossly overpriced.

I was enjoying your nice peaceful ride and that noise initially startled me, haha. That sure was a loud electric motor, I guess it's as good as a horn. Thanks for the vid.😀

It most likely is volume. And because they can charge more. Regular bikes also use specialized jigs to make specialized frames. Longer chain, cables more wheels is ridiculous. Double or triple them and you still can't reach a grand for a trike. Some of these cost 10 grand!

Visibility is two ways.

I take my new to me, ancient to everyone else , Terratrike Path recumbent on trails and Never in traffic. Changed it from 3 speed internal gear hub to 20 speed with 26-50 front chain rings . Riding next to traffic in my separated bike lane allows me to see very little of the driver if at all so no in traffic riding for me as I use my Bacchetta Giro A20 touring bent for everything else. The trike is good for a work out and very low speed stability and I bought it specifically for a mining road I have ridden 5 times or more before I got nerve damage in both hands and can no longer ride a diamond frame bike. No traffic off road and a comfortable ride , what more can you ask for?

Great video. I switched from a tadpole to a delta because I fractured my left femur and was no longer able to get back out of once I got in.

❤ the area U were riding! Mine similar ... Yeah! I will stick with my LOW go-kart like recumbent... Zoom! Zoom!! Fun! Fun!! 73! De K4RXX 😂

Good points all around. I wouldn't have an adult tricycle strictly due to the comfort. If you want something higher off the ground, go to a Delta recumbent trike, but I can't say they are any more stable. I'll stick with my tadpole, it hasn't bucked me off yet!

None of what you say qualifies a trike to cost upwards of $17,000. Most don’t cost this much, but the base price is typically around $4000 - $8000 and then you start adding on to that price.

Thanks for showing such an interesting vid. So cool looking back in time.😀

cooL 🤩😁😁😄😆!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, there is not that great of a difference in material costs for Trikes to be so ridiculously expensive! Trikes are 2 to 3 times more expensive than a regular bike in most cases! I have built trikes from scratch before and had less than $300 in materials! So the reason they are more expensive is because of what manufacturers are charging for them and the fact that they are such a small percentage of the market!

I can't believe a 100 year old engine can still run. We sure can't say that about our cars haha. Thanks for the vid.

Nice and interesting video! I think you need to mount something like a G90 and an antenna somewhere on it so you can go HF mobile. Happy pedaling and 73 de KK6IPR.

Great advice. Thanks for the vid.😀

Good advice on flats. I'm of the opinion that prevention is best, but you still have to be prepared to fix the occasional flat. A quick question. Doesn't your canopy cause an awful wind drag? I don't know that even extended it is very aerodynamic. Good video!
