HAVE MORE FUN ON A TRIKE WHEN YOU RIDE WITH A BUDDY! Get out there and ride! UTCustom Tandem Coupler

[@Boris_Chang]

I could imagine a hundred of these hooked together, looking like a giant mechanical centipede, moving across the Australian Outback.

[@patp3800]

I love this idea...hope each rider can bring backpacks along

[@ruthdoyle9085]

I see a world’s record breaker coming on. “Longest trikes in the world”…

[@steves.922]

Awesome custom work! Good to see a shop thinking "outside the box". Nice work!

[@georgegaw7809]

Good job, suggest further improvement. Also make a gadget on the back of trike to store the front wheel; in case a rider wants to get off to another path during middle of the ride.

[@ShawnThomas]

I’m so impressed with your business.

[@toddschaeffer6174]

Okay yes this is absolutely fabulous. What about those of us with a tadpole configuration? My wife and I like to ride but she is much slower than I, to hook these two together would be fantastic. Keep up the good work guys and keep thinking outside the box.

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Much more complicated to connect two tadpole trikes together, but we have made tadpole coupling systems before. The preferred solution is to add pedal assist to the slower trike so both riders can stay together.

[@sharonjordanWA]

Awesome!!

[@markhawkins5022]

Looks like a load of fun.

[@paulvild]

I have been mulling this over in my mind and now to see it in action it is super exciting. I especially loved when you put three in a row making a full on train. I am curious though, since you knew the trike that was going to be following, why did you not create the bracket to keep the front fork of the rear trike the same height off of the ground that it would be if it were connected to an actual wheel?

[@joemcglue2881]

hi that is the coolest trike i have ever seen

[@clayguinard3651]

You guys are amazing unbelievably amazing you guys are setting the bar very high or other shops... I really enjoy your video really I do I tell everybody about you guys

[@SFCRambo60]

I hope someone gave the guy running the drill a safety lecture. I worked at Cat for over 30 years and we had guys with missing fingers, hands and arms from wearing too loose of clothing and getting caught in the machinery. Had one guy who thought he locked his radial drill in place and turned his back on it and he ended up 3 isles over in about 40 pieces. Not a nice picture.

[@joedavis352]

Rans used to have that made on all there trikes. Have seen as many as 12 in a line.

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Nice!

[@albertmalcampo9784]

This is great, for The Philippine countrysides..

[@hellopsp180]

This is insanely cool. I just wanna make my own one now lol

[@dbryant4]

Does it make it possible to go faster as you connect more bikes together, as when race cars "draft" closely behind each other?

[@mindciller]

Nice

[@AmiApache]

I do have 2 deltas. The first is 13 years old Sinner Comfort, from Netherlands. Seconds is basically brand new Sun ax-3x with under-steering. The only drawback with USA-made trike, which is absolutely mind blowing trike anyway is the lack of diffirential. Only right wheel is going, which make any attempt of hauling anything. Even myself on uphill is impossible. SUN AX-X3 is very sturdy under-stearing controlled trike. The only drawback is the missing diffirential. However, i've hooked up the SUN to the Sinner, which has the diffirential and it works great. This was great video. I wonder what would it cost to make coupler for the SUN AX-X3?

[@Didgeman80]

As a parent who cycles commutes with my kids and rides a quad with your axle, do a different version which would allow me to attach my child's bike to the rear of my axle. Should work fine if you eliminate the left to right movement.

[@TravelingKory]

This just looks insanely fun! I could see two or three deltas hooked up on a boardwalk. Question for you guys: would there be a way to mount the front wheels on the "train" to carry with you in the event the riders want to detach and ride separately?

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Sure. we can make a mount for the front wheel to attach.

[@spytotheroot]

great job!!!

[@computersfortheautisticfou9420]

would love a coupler for my ELF to tow my trikes lol it's hard having so many adult trikes and velomobiles

[@AmiApache]

Well. You could........ Send one to me :) That way i'll ease your pain to own too much trikes.

[@Wog68]

If you are making small customized parts for personalizing trikes/quads, may be you should consider 3D printing, such as “Desktop Metal” and one other German company BIgRap as an example. I think this could be a win win situation for quality of parts, for you (productivity & profits) and for customers. Just a though as I see more of your videos and see that you not only sell recumbent bikes/trikes/quads but modify and customize them in-house putting your ideas and technical expertise.

[@Wog68]

Are you into design of bicycle RV? There could be a market as more people are into bicycle touring.😊

[@tumazformosa960]

Nice! What's the size of that rod end ball joint? I have a DIY project that's also going to use ball joints to take similar loads. I'd like to get an idea of a safe size.

[@neliosamch3195]

I like the idea but for towing a trailer camper.

[@AmiApache]

I'm planning to use my trailer for camping as well. I'm custom to heavy haul with bike (tandem, delta trike) even on uphill. My age is start to piss me off as we all know, age doesn't come alone :) I have to add 500W front wheel motor to my Sinner-delta to ease the transition.

[@paulrock4816]

find a way for a solar panel on top of the camper.

[@rickzap7957]

I like it.

[@j_roq7112]

Pretty cool, but my buddies are too lazy for that!! I'd be doing all the pedaling!!😂

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Yes, that is a very real concern!

[@rickzap7957]

make some new friends j. m. o

[@ryancappo]

That is why you need to be in the back holding a whip. ;)

[@haldayley3386]

This is an awesome way to have fun but how do you balance the power of the trikes so that you’re not burning up the battery power of just one of the trikes❓

[@gardenman3]

Do you make couplers for tadpole trikes?

[@startcherif]

🌋very nice video

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Thank you!

[@tronalpha9137]

G'day can you do the same with the front wheeh type ?.

[@alainroy6214]

I would like to hook up a Delta behind a regular fat bike (I have a Surface 604 Boar ebike), Have you ever done that? Also, would it be possible to add a hub motor to the non geared rear wheel of the Delta?

[@bujin5455]

They just went full centipede!

[@roberteltze4850]

I first saw this concept on the RANS trike but I've always wondered how well does it track around corners if you have a long chain of 4 or more trikes?

[@AmiApache]

I've done cornering all my life. In tandem- with trailed attached. Delta-trike, with trailer attached. Delta-trike-tandem with trailer is on the menu. With tandem acts ok. 2 delta's cornering is easy. You only must know where your rear-end is going. Same principle as with trailer, only little bit longer.

[@amtb70x7anunkwn9]

*** Y E S !!!!!!! **** I WANT ONE Or THREE !!!! OMG This is Totally AWESOME !!!! :-D PLEASE TAKE MY $$$$$ !!!

[@amtb70x7anunkwn9]

[@RobertMcClure]

Wow what won't you guys come up with?

[@scenicdriveways6708]

At the time stamp 0:42 , the trike with the big fat white tires. What kind of trike is that. I want to e-mail you about it. JT

[@Wog68]

I don’t see Hase trikes at your place.

[@barrienew4167]

I think the record is 93 Kettwiesels joined together.

[@jzbreezio]

Imagine a delta trike conga line..

[@daveyJ213]

Amazing. Just shorten the forks of the trailing trike so it doesn't sit so high.

[@AmiApache]

Or, make slide where fork can be set freely about 1-15 cm of height.

[@deezynar]

Why don't you use a quick release skewer?

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Our new version does.

[@deezynar]

@@UtahTrikesOnline Good. Make a new video showing it.

[@ivengideonv6428]

Another option is a sail

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

We have actually had several customers who have added sails to their trikes. I guess it really depends on where you ride if that is feasible.

[@ShawnThomas]

I’m interested in a trailer. Been scouring the internet for years searching for the perfect bike trailer. Why are they so elusive? I want a bike trailer that will haul up to 6 adults.

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Sounds like you are looking for something custom. Shoot us an email to [e-mail] and we'll see what we can come up with.

[@barrienew4167]

I'm trying to attach a Kettwiesel to the back of a Scorpion FS20. I'm thinking of a bracket that attaches to the uppermost seat skewer and the rack attachment screws just above. Then mounting the Hase coupler to it. It's going to lift the front of the Kett about 5 inches which isn't too bad. The biggest problem will be heal strike in a tight turn. What do you think? Any ideas greatly appreciated. P.S. I don't want to go the route of Hase's attachment to a DF bike due to cost and I dont find it an elegant solution.

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

The main concern would be adding to much lateral force to the Scorpion's rear swing arm during turns. You'll want to make sure that the pivot you connect to the fork of the Kett can pivot in all directions.

[@barrienew4167]

@@UtahTrikesOnline Thanks for the quick reply. I think I've got all three axes covered by using the Hase coupler and the Kett's steering. My biggest worry is getting heal strike and hence putting lateral force on the swingarm. I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks again.

[@marybachmann]

I recently picked up two used Easy Racer deltas. My husband has the HD and I have the AX. I've seen trikes in a train before, so how is this different from the standard(?) connection? I don't remember it done with the HD, though...

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Flexibility is the key, so the following trike's fork can pivot as needed to handle turns and ups and downs. Greenspeed makes a coupler that works on their Anura, but won't work on any other trike and with most trikes being different enough they each require a couple that can mount to their rear axle.

[@marybachmann]

@@UtahTrikesOnline OK, I see that. Thanks!

[@markrobinson891]

I hope Ashley pays you. You seem to be having a bit too much fun on the job. There must be some “work” involved right?

[@fredrickramsden3748]

Agreed. Always nice to enjoy your work.

When you enjoy of your work.. You become a god! :)

[@alphonsotate2982]

SORRY I WILL BUILD MY OWN HITCH WITH GREASE-ABLE PIVOT AND A THRU SOLID AXIAL PIN FOR THE FORK TO REST IN.

[@keithwetlesen9965]

I am going to be building a competitive sand trike. 100% human powered. It may have several people riding. I'd like some advice.

[@spidennis]

How is your project coming along?

[@sitoudien9816]

Looks fun, but who does the braking?

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

The front trike has front and rear brakes. The rear trike still has their rear brakes.

[@McGetums]

I recently tried to by a bike from here. The customer service was bad. The whole time I was talking to him I felt like I was bothering him or he didn't want to talk. Surprisingly unpleasant.
