ICE RECUMBENT TRIKE RECUMBENT RAGTOP Review of the Rag top

[@ernestmachpro3341]

Hi Graham. Some people use a kayak canopy. It's certainly cheaper. I will try it soon.

[@1001Darkeyes]

Let us know what ist like

[@CaptnJackHammer]

Graham, sounds like a great idea to use on my trike here in sunny and hot Queensland in Oz. Thanks for the Video

[@1001Darkeyes]

Brian Rayment Hi Oz:-) It works well its well made and I have had no problems with it works well in the rain here

[@1001Darkeyes]

Update ... I have been using it now back and forth to work and its been great, certainly gets notest the Kids Love it LOL this week at last it rained and I got to ride it in the rain, Eksalent as I thought as I sat at the Lights in the pouring rain as snug as a bug in a rug No wet seat well pleased

[@1001Darkeyes]

Still running to and back to work and have had no problems again well pleased with it

[@keithguiste2659]

Is this a ICE product? i like the looks of it but can not seem to find it by googling

[@1001Darkeyes]

Hi its called a rag top and comes from the USA its not made by ICE Googale Ragtop

[@keithguiste2659]

Thank You Sir , I needed to adjust my search wording

[@1001Darkeyes]

No problem I am glad to be of help. I used it on a trike back and forth to work winter and summer, it worked well keeping me dry. :-) I am retired now so I do not have it any more and I sold what I called my work trike.

[@riverrock335]

I am curious, is this canopy top waterproof? And, is it washable?

[@1001Darkeyes]

That is 2 Yeses

[@riverrock335]

Hi Graham, I ordered one in bright yellow for my ICE Adventure. Thanks for making the video and answering my questions. Be well😊

[@danielmci6243]

Have you had a chance to ride with the flap open since you made this ? just thinking this may be great for commuting in summer but not sure about the extra drag.

[@1001Darkeyes]

Hi Yes i have tried it with the flap off, yes a improvement I have not had the Back completely rolled up as yet as thats not what i bought it for, I have it to keep the worst of the winter off me, and it will do just that back and forth to work, Its not somthing I would use on weekend rides as I like to be in the open and I keep my weekend Spring X as light as I can as I can do a 100 plus in two days on rides out, I would say with the back up right up folded away it will stop the drag. Hope that helps I will put a Video on once I have hit some bad weather and let all know how it performs so far I am pleased with it

[@timross3008]

Where can I order one!

[@richardbogue3324]

Graham I should be getting one this week. I am a disabled veteran in south GA it is always hot and sunny. I will be using it to cover my skin mostly due to the drugs I take. How well does it cover your skin.

[@1001Darkeyes]

richard bogue Hi My friend you will find it's well made and keeps the sun and rain off you, for me it's the rain and winter I use it most and it's a big help as my trikes are my main transport as i do not drive now days. wish you good fortune may you be well and happy and thanks for watching the Video glad it helped if it did :-)

[@immortalclass]

Hi Graham. Do you find that it catches the wind? It looks like a very effective sun shield but the faster you ride the more rain gets you, right? Have you continued to use it since about a year ago? Cheers, Howard. Velo Vision magazine.

[@1001Darkeyes]

+immortalclass Hi Yes I ues in all year as it's my commuting trike I have never had a problem in the wind or rain, the wind goes thru the back window mesh, I have been in difrent wind directions with no problem it will slow you down some what straight into the wind But its not a problem

[@immortalclass]

+Graham Williams Great stuff! Can you contact me via www.velovision.com/contact if you'd like to share your experience with our readers? Many thanks, in advance.

[@1001Darkeyes]

Sorry I have just found this sorry again it was some time ago you sent this

[@bigbluemeanie]

It looks like it could operate as a sail (if you wanted to go backwards).

[@1001Darkeyes]

That is for sure :-)

[@rdkuless]

mount it backwards and really fly..! LOL

[@1001Darkeyes]

I would not see where I was going but I get your drift, but even the right way around with the wind behind it give a great push

[@carlbentley80]

Would be good to keep the sun off here in Australia. Sadly, I live in the third windiest city in the world and spend a good deal of time riding into that wind. But maybe with the rear cover removed... :)

[@1001Darkeyes]

Maybe works well with the back up fort me

[@carlbentley80]

There has been a good thread on facebook group "recumbent trikes group" about covers.

[@24nikita]

I`m interested in your transparent fairing. Where from and how much please.

[@1001Darkeyes]

Well its made in the USA but you can by it from EU But its well over £500 !!!!!!

[@24nikita]

Your goin` on and on about import duty so how much did you pay for it and how much did the import duty set you back ?

[@sunilvaitee9770]

CAN I ORDER IT INDIA ( BOMBAY ) PLEASE ADVICE

[@SolarizeYourLife]

Now just replace the ragtop with a cigs solar panel...

[@1001Darkeyes]

OK Import duty ... to be blunt if you have a friend in the USA send it to him as a Gift :-) then he can send it to you as a Gift :-)

[@1001Darkeyes]

[@scottleeanne]

Looks smart so it does. The rear window would suit the ice flag sowed on it.

[@1001Darkeyes]

scott gourley Yes will you make me one ? ;-)

[@brucewmclaughlin9072]

over 500.00

[@1001Darkeyes]

I take it that's the price ? if so I did not know that. I brought my one second hand, used. If that is 500,00 £/$ that's ridicules, there good but not that good. again you can by a good bike for that.
