After a little over a year of ownership of my ice VTX and 1600 miles, I want to give you an updated review of what I think about the ice VTX. Prior to owning an ice VTX Recumbent Trike, I own a terra trike rambler. Kenneth Brooks recommended that I try to mount the camera onto my cousin's bike so he could video record me riding.
What I was looking for in a Recumbent Trike the Ice Vtx meets all my needs. The ICE VTX recumbent trike seems to be more suitable to my taste and riding style.
So what I want to do in this video is to give you a review of the pros and cons of the 1600 miles on my ice VTX Recumbent Trike. Since this is only my second trike some of these are probably related to being on a recumbent trike in general as well as specific to the ice VTX.
My 2nd video on this channel was on May 31, 2020. Take a look at this video because it also talks about the top 5 reasons to ride a recumbent trike. Here is the link: • Top 5 Reasons to Ride ...
