Even though we can't get those affordable TerraTrikes on this side of the pond, this video was so entertaining it was a great watch. Well done guys.

The All Terrain has a couple of design issues with the upper chain path with the Bosch motor. The chain tube under the seat mount when under tension gets sliced by the chain easily (mine lasted under 50 miles). If you add the fenders, the rear fender mount pushes the chain tube out in lowest gear (largest sprocket) and causes shifting issues. My chain tube was completely destroyed climbing a steep hill in lowest gear with maximum boost.

Higher seat than bottom bracket keeps numb feet and recumbent butt away. These low bottom bracket trikes look amazing.

Talking water bottles, there is a seat-back hydration pack available from T-Cycle and I think the Hostel Shop that is made for our recumbent rides! I have one. I like it because it holds my 72oz hydration bladder, is insulated and is hardly noticable on my GTS seatback. The only exposed piece is the drinking hose. This pack helps to keep my trike looking asthetically (sp?) clean!

Is there a bumper that you can install to keep the rider from running into things with the motor? I have a Rambler that I have installed the electric motor. Haven’t ridden it yet but I will before too long.

Even better would be one of my recumbent trike full bodies. I originally built for my terratrike wizwheelz. Simular to a velomobile body.

The final trike, the Spider with upgrade, would be a silly buy if you put a motor on it. You would negate all the weight reducing components.

People forget that moving a trike around can be a pain in the but. Heavier makes it worse…

What’s the advantage of having horizontal handlebars over vertical?
@LaidBackCycles19 күн бұрын
It's mostly personal preference. Some folks may have better strength and leverage one way or the other. Each brand usually has a style they prefer and design their trikes around it.

I'm in the market for trike what I would never buy one without a real throttle
@LaidBackCycles11 ай бұрын
Totally get it. We do hub motors with the throttle. Maybe some day Bosch and Shimano will offer a throttle. I know Bafang offers one on their true mid-drive motor, but that's on MTB's, not yet available on trikes.

the proper name for the paint effect is flop, the paint flops to a different color based upon how the paint looks at a particular angle and light

Informative, but you need better camera work. Can’t tell much of the trikes by continually looking at the front. When you do break away and show the trike, it’s much too fast and too close. No offense, but I would much rather see more of the bike than you two guys.

😂We'll make sure you see more of the trikes in future videos. This was off the cuff at Recumbent Cycle Convention. We also have individual videos of the trikes with more close ups. Cheers :)

I hear ya, I ride a Bosch that I love, but hub motors are more affordable to meet the needs of people looking to get into power assist.
@royfrye333 Жыл бұрын
Hub motors are much better for just riding on relatively flat , rail trails. I don't need the additional torque and drivetrain stress that a mid-drive delivers.
