I bought a Tour Easy like 15 years ago. I have ways wanted a Velotechnik

I see what you did there, Derek😆

[@markfeldman6509]

Nice video and explanation of product and convenience options. Thanks for sharing.....ten speed gearing seems a little inadequate for the first trike shown, though.

[@GarySolomon]

Thanks, Mark! That Gekko is set up to be solid, rideable and inexpensive. Gear range isn't wide as you point out but adequate for the majority of such riders.

[@keithguiste2659]

The new microshift Advent X is "only" 10 speed and should be plenty of gear range to get wherever you want to go

Great editing job

[@GarySolomon]

Thanks, Lee ☺️

​@@GarySolomon Back in the olden days we called that the "stopped tape interview."

[@GarySolomon]

I did not know that, Lee. Since we were unable to coordinate a live interview the marketing director posed my questions off camera to which the rep responded. I "ran the tape" which they sent me and recorded myself asking the questions my way. Then into Premier for editing and voila! Lots of fun, actually 😁

[@Ultracyclingmagazine]

@@GarySolomon Exactly as I thought. Again. Great job. I might have an occasion to use the same technique.

[@henrikpettersson2886]

Im looking for a bike to commute with now as the Covid 19 thing stops me from riding the buss. Im looking at normal bikes but what I really whant is a trike. Seems so comfortable.

[@GarySolomon]

No comparison as far as comfort, Henrik. You should test ride one and see if it's right for you ☺️
